Just ok...

Revisado: 04-02-25

Story was solid, if almost a direct lift from the movie. Would have liked more backstory etc as books are usually better at those details to more fully flesh out the story.

As others have said, however talented Alice Eve is as an actor, voice work does not seem to be her strongest suit. General narration was ok, but I found her character - particularly Kahn, Marcus, and Scotty to be...well, jarring. Overly slow delivery, ridiculously punctuated consonants, strangely drawling, and at times whiney. *shudder* Ir got pretty cringe more than once, and pulled me out of immersion in the story.

Perfection

Revisado: 12-04-24

An excellent collection of short stories from MRK. Though I freely admit I was drawn to it primarily for the Lady Astronaut short. What a finale! (I totally didn't get misty eyed. Nope. Not me.) Please let this be a beautiful segue to at least one more full length novel! The universe needs more of Elma York...and we'd love it here on Earth too!

Abridged?

Revisado: 05-10-24

Didn't realize this was NOT the full original text before clicking the purchase button. While the performance was good, the lack of full original content left me wanting much more.

Decent

An enjoyable and detailed listen, if uninspired writing at times. Narration was possible, but felt rather flat overall.

Speechless.

Revisado: 03-13-24

Holy. Damn.

I didn't have any expectation starting this memoir, and was not prepared for the weight, the humor, the level of honesty, and the almost fathomless beauty Bono captures, and so personally conveys in his book.

I will listen, then listen again. Unlikely to ever leave the top shelf of my library as it were. One hundred stars, of five.

Surprisingly boring.

Revisado: 09-22-22

Seriously wanted to like this, but found it tedious and unbelievable from the start to the last. Can't recommend..

Disjointed

Revisado: 08-26-22

started strong in quantum mechanics, but then the lectures felt like they completely fell apart in their presentation when the subject switched to astronomy. A real shame as that is of more interest to me. Regardless of subject however, the marked drop in quality of presentation - marked with disheveled thoughts, sometimes incoherent thoughts seemingly interjected at random, stumbled words, and loads of "uh..uh..uhh...umm...umm" - was just too much. Unlikely to make it through to the end unless the lecturer gets his presentation sorted out. Its much too distracting to be able to glean useful information from the lecture. Again, very disappointing as the astronomy material was of particular interest.

Best book of the series so far

Revisado: 07-07-22

The story really advanced with this book. Nice to see Joe, Skippy and crew moving things forward. Great plot twists too!
