Well done!

Even better than the first novel and expanding on the first. If you enjoyed the first one you will enjoy this one too. Bravo!

Order versus Chaos versus Freedom?

Definitely a great collection of stories. As with the first book, the authors leave you with the impression that an ordered existence can't be happy and free though. I suspect they were shooting to suggest balance but either way it doesn’t marr the story lines. I definitely enjoyed reading another edition of adventure in this fanciful steam technology world.

Original as Peart always was.

The concept of how the the book was filled with the stories was quite unique.

All is for the best

Clockwork lives is a telltale adventure of a citizen of Albion, named Miranda. She is on journey to find out the story of the lives that she comes across during her sojourn that is required by her father to obtain her inheritance. Kevin and Neil have written excellent story as part two of the Clockwork trilogy. Lots of Rush lyrical morsels are sprinkled through the book for the fanatic to find. Also, many of the stories are partially autobiographical for each of the authoritative writer of this book. This is another fine masterpiece of literature that will be passed down through the ages.

can't go wrong with Anderson and Peart!

I absolutely loved this! When my own life felt chaotic and too full, I found I could lose myself in the stories of these characters' adventures. One theme was that of some characters showing obvious growth, others no change, and still others, regression. The novel itself did not disappoint--lively narrators (as a blind reader, I have heard my share, and most of the narration was engaging and superb); my only complaints were that supplementary material like dedications, prefaces, afterwords, etc., were not included; also, in the publisher's summary, Peart was listed as one narrator, but there was none evident here; he had a voice made for narration, and I would have loved to hear any contribution he made. Or, am I missing something, LOL? If you haven't yet listened to the first novel, which he did read, you're in for a treat. Also, as others have stated, all the little lyrical references from Rush songs, as well as nods to the band in the guise of characters--and even The Percussor, which ably describes Neil's crazy drumming--were icing on the cake.

Anderson & Peart Rock Again!

Another interesting and thought provoking novel that tells one amazing life story after another. I can't wait to listen to the final installment of the trilogy, "Clockwork Destiny"!

Better than the first one!

I wondered how they would make a sequel to Clockwork Angels but the story idea was great! Well performed (I never had to guess who was speaking) and although I guessed the ending didn't detract at all from the journey.

loved this

I liked that their were different narrators for the different stories. the story itself was fun and creative. I was glad to have more of these places from clockwork angels, and the backstories and character developments. also loved finding all the hidden RUSH lyrics
