Nightfall

I am not big on Sci-fi / disaster awaits the world kind of books, but this I liked. The story of a planet with no nightfall is fascinating. But the fear they feel about it something I couldn't relate to. Particularly the part about stars. I mean how can you be scared of the? Go crazy at the sight of those sparklers in the sky?

The book has 3 parts, one - leading up to the night fall - brilliant! two - nightfall itself - Fascinating! three - was post nightfall, I didn't enjoy that so much. It felt very cliche. I suppose in 1990 it wasn't so but with so many paranoid hollywood films...

But overall I liked it.
