Not connected to the characters

Revisado: 01-18-24

Not sure how this garnered such good reviews. Almost all of the characters are one dimensional and the story line doesn't include much on the discovery and reason for the war with the aliens. I even checked to make sure that I had not missed a book in the series. Narrator did a good job, though. Would listen to another book narrated by her.

What was the point of the story?

Revisado: 07-06-23

I did not finish this book. Made it to the 90 minute mark and have no idea what the point of the story is. Profanity at weird places that didn't do anything. Slow and dull. One dimensional characters. I honestly think the review process from Audible is used to generate false reviews. Needs to be addressed. Narrator was good, which is the only positive thing.

Fairly boring

Couldn't finish and her other books are much better. Wouldn't recommend it. Indidnt even get halfway through it.

Just too silly for me and not funny

Revisado: 06-16-23

Could not finish it. Preferred the author's wizard series. This was unnecessarily gross and silly without being funny.

Slow and full of holes

Revisado: 05-22-23

Giving up after the first book. The story was slow developing and so much just didn't make any sense. For instance, why didn't the 4 NASA astronauts join up with the others on the planet in the interest of future survival? Why doesn't anyone try to find out about Earth. And so on.

Slow, silly and doesn't go anywhere.

Revisado: 01-03-23

Gave up halfway through. Even if this is a young adult book, which wasn't indicated, it just wasn't interesting.

Not sure of the audience for this one

Revisado: 03-31-22

I typically like John Scalzi's work, but this one misses the mark in spite of a promising premise. I wondered if it was supposed to be aimed more at the YA market, but the dropping of f-bombs in every scene makes me think maybe not. Both the writing and the over-the-top narration reminds me of being in a bar with the 'bros' trying to outdo one another both in reaction and language over loud music and crowd noise. Hard for me to believe that scientists, even young scientists, would not be more articulate when describing their work or just in every day conversation. And the narrator, well, let's just say that almost every sentence is uttered with the same excited, over the top, dictation. The story really never took off and I did not find much of it plausible, even for science fiction, which is one of my favorite genres. I really tried to give it a chance and listened to almost all of it before giving up. Maybe with a different style of narration it might have been more palatable.

Went back to this after I had given up. Just ok.

Revisado: 11-17-21

I really could not become immersed in the story. Felt that both the plot and the characters were weak and uninteresting.

Excruciating narration

Revisado: 09-15-21

Could not listen to more than 2 episodes. Science weak and used for justifications that are biased. Not for me.

Not worth the time

Revisado: 12-13-20

Mostly characters talking. Very little description of astronauts environment. Characters do not act professionally and during an emergency, there appeared to be no protocol for handling it. Finally gave up after a few episodes. I cannot understand all of the good reviews. Maybe my tastes are too different.
