A really well told story really well narrated in this case. A very interesting idea to explore - what makes an animal sentient and what would we do if we found sentient life while trying to exploit space.
One thing that very very mildly grates in the audiobook version is the number of times the word "said" appears - I know that some writers are advocates of only using "said" for speech, but I think that this works much better on the page where it just helps the reader to keep track of who's speaking than when it's audible.

As someone who has enjoyed DB in the 2020s, this wasn't really something that added much for me. I don't feel that he's at the height of his powers here, and just as I was contemplating listening to the second half "some other time", the material taking just the slightest nudge towards the first side. Not finished. I'll look for something that reflects a later stage in his development.

I really appreciate this title by W Kamau Bell. It's an interestingly told story following a non- linear path through his life surrounding his big advances both personal and professional. A great listen.

Maria Bamford's work is always extraordinary, and this older piece is no exception. Worth listening to.

Yet soothe great Kinsey Milhone yarn by Sue Grafton. A great performance by Judy Kaye.

Some books read well as a whole, some read well in key scenes and some read well sentence-by-sentence. Speaker for the Dead does them all. Really enjoyable and thought-provoking. Do read Ender's Game first; the context is key.

Don't worry too much if you think you've already guessed where the book is headed early on. Having reached the end, I don't think that anything is passed on to the reader that wasn't intended by the author.

Sarah Silverman does exactly the perfect sort of job you'd expect someone of her talent to do in reading her own story. A wide -ranging and honest set of tales and observations from a funny lady.

Nate gives a great view of how big data can and should work (or not). I particularly liked that while some case studies had clear central messages, he avoided reductionism and reapplied lessons from other chapters.

A good story that's more conventional than David Wong's previous novels. The narrator provides mostly good, clearly contrastable voices, but there are a memorable number of times when she clearly gives the wrong emphasis in a sentence. I actually think this is more the fault of the director, as the narrator puts in emphases in these cases that seem entirely appropriate until you hear the whole sentence. A director should be calling for a retake at that point. Not constant, but for someone who's not that picky, it was often enough to be a distraction.
