Mikael Blomkvist is contacted by renowned scientist Professor Balder. Fearing for his life, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants Millennium to publish his story. More interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker. It seems that Lisbeth Salander, like Balder, is a target of ruthless cyber gangsters that will soon bring terror to the streets of Stockholm, the Millennium team....

Any additional comments?
Lagercrantz did a good job overall. The story was complex and for the most part engaging. The character of Blomkvist was just right in some places and not quite there in others, particularly well drawn in the early chapters and not so well in the middle. Lisbeth was her fiery self, but the superhero portrayal was a little over done for me.
The rating of three for story is perhaps a little harsh, but there were a few times when the seams showed, and it felt a little rushed. However overall I was happy to be with these characters again, and I would welcome another book in the series.

How God is described today strikes many as mean, primitive, backwards, illogical, tribal, and at odds with the frontiers of science. At the same time, many intuitively feel a sense of reverence and awe in the world. Can we find a new way to talk about God? Pastor and New York Times best-selling author Rob Bell shows how traditional ideas have grown stale and dysfunctional and reveals a new path for how to return vitality and vibrancy to how we understand God.

If you could sum up What We Talk About When We Talk About God in three words, what would they be?
Hopeful, Inspirational, Real
What did you like best about this story?
Bell is always inspirational, but here he really shines bringing us perspectives on God that are clear, direct, thoughtful and don't make you cringe at all.
Any additional comments?
The adult version of God that is very helpful for people who know there is something there, but squirm at naive magical thinking.

We colonized 700 planets. Humankind enjoyed the benefits of expansion room and the end of wars. We even disbanded our military. Then the Krall found us. The Krall have used thousands of years of combat to select the genes of the strongest and fastest warriors. They are a species determined to dominate the entire galaxy, through destruction and annihilation of every opponent.
Koban is an uninhabited high-gravity planet with impossibly fast savage animals, which employ organic superconducting nerves. This deadly world is where the Krall tested humans for war capability.

Hard to separate narrator from the story, but...
Revisado: 04-11-15
I think the story was well written, but it's difficult to tell given the very odd narration. The story was good enough to make me want to listen to book 2 which I noticed has a different narrator. I'm looking forward to that.

- De: Neal Stephenson

Wonderful yarn
Revisado: 12-24-12
If you could sum up Cryptonomicon in three words, what would they be?
Imaginative historical fiction. Stephenson painted a rich picture of the human side ww2 events.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cryptonomicon?
The interaction of the fictional Bobby Shaftoe with the historical MacArthur reminds me of the best of Turtledove.
What does William Dufris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Dufris did a solid job of representing the characters.
Any additional comments?
The idea that our technology has somehow made us 'different' than the bright people of the past is strongly challenged by this book. Good writing of a good story. Slightly abrupt ending.

In 1942, Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse - mathematical genius and young Captain in the US Navy - is assigned to detachment 2702. It is an outfit so secret that only a handful of people know it exists, and some of those people have names like Churchill and Roosevelt. The mission of Watrehouse and Detachment 2702 - commanded by Marine Raider Bobby Shaftoe - is to keep the Nazis ignorant of the fact that Allied Intelligence has cracked the enemy's fabled Enigma code. In the present, Waterhouse's crypto-hacker grandson, Randy, is attempting to create a "data haven" in Southeast Asia....

Solid advice from a trusted source.
Revisado: 10-01-12
Would you listen to The Art of Raising a Puppy again? Why?
This is a good reference work, which is probably better in hard copy. I picked up the audio version for convenience, but would advise getting a printed copy.
What other book might you compare The Art of Raising a Puppy to and why?
How to be your dogs best friend.
