Historia
Reclusive college student Jonathan Tibbs wakes in a pool of blood, not a scratch on him. His life is about to undergo a massive shift. A violent and merciless otherworldly enemy unleashes slaughter in the streets, calling out in a language only he understands. And it is seeking its challenger. In order to defeat the threat, Jonathan must become a temporal weapon...while remaining completely anonymous. Unfortunately, harnessing off-world powers has its own special challenges...

Good story, well crafted though it left me underwhelmed, asking for more. I guess that is a good thing?

Historia
I found the journal at work. Well, I don't know if you'd call it work, but that's where I found it. It's the lost journal of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors and visionaries ever. Before he died in 1943, he kept a notebook filled with spectacular claims and outrageous plans.

Poorly crafted story, poorly written, poorly narrated. It's not because you can write a book that you should. One star for effort.

Historia
In what is considered one of Heinlein's most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

What disappointed you about The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress?
I wanted escapism...All I got was a political treatise on nation building. Not worth my time. Or my credits.

Neal Stephenson hacks into the secret histories of nations and the private obsessions of men, decrypting with dazzling virtuosity the forces that shaped this century.

Any additional comments?
Don't get me wrong. I am a computer geek with a love for hacking, crypto and math.
But does he need to tell me about the chemical nutrients in the grass that's eaten by the sheep in the English countryside while (WWII) Waterhouse rides the train to Bletchley Park? Does he need to tell me about all the different ethnic groups in the Phillipines while (present day) Waterhouse goes to check on the Japanese gold on Avi's behalf? I could go on for ever.
This droning reminds of my Grandfather, telling me stories that would go on and on and on but never get anywhere.
Again, I loved the plot and the "spy novel" aspect of his book. But his writing style was a major turn-off for me.
I rate this item 3 stars, because of the seemingly daunting effort the creation of this book must have been.

Historia
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....

Historia
A poor woman lives far from London in a cottage with her "indolent, careless, and extravagant" son, Jack. The two have little money and are forced to sell their last possession, a cow. Jack leads the animal along the road and meets an old man who trades some magic beans for the cow. Jack’s mother is furious when she discovers he has come home with no money, and tosses the beans away. The next morning, Jack finds a beanstalk has grown to the clouds and climbs it… finally reaching a castle, high above the sky!

This is an ***adaption*** of the original story. And the acting is sub-par, at best. If I could rate this more negatively, I would.

Historia
The artifact is found seven miles below the surface of the sea and beneath 40 more feet of sand. The Navy's efforts to raise a wrecked submarine uncover it - and set in motion a scientific race to retrieve it, to discover just what it is and where it came from. Denser than any substance known to man, it has broken every drill bit they've tried on it and will not budge an inch. It resists every effort to breach it - or communicate with it.
