I haven't read Last and First Men but I have read Star Maker, and I love it. I thought it was something special.


I found Star Maker to be very similar in style to Last and First Men. There are no characters or plot. It is a general description of the types of intelligent cultures on planets throughout the galaxy by an unnamed narrator who in a disembodied form travels through space and time. Finally, well past the halfway mark, I had to put the book down. I just would rather spend my reading time on something I enjoy more.
