Derivative and half thought out

Revisado: 04-07-24

So many issues with this novel, but the biggest and most glaring is that the entire book feels incomplete. All the characters are one dimensional. The settings are never described, giving almost zero detail or context to the world the novel takes place in. Everyone talks like a Gen Z kid, using typical slag, which completely ruins the atmosphere of a unique setting. Such a heavy focus on social awkwardness that half the book was cringe inducing to listen to. Generic awful big cooperation causing harm to planets as a thinly veiled allegory for climate change. Also, none of the characters are likeable. Just generic sci fi characters. Furthermore, calling this book sci fi is a stretch. Just a typical distopian story in a space setting. it's as though this book was written by AI, cause it has zero unique ideas, concepts, or characters. I do not recommend this book. Go read The Expanse, cause this just feels like a cheap ripoff. Narrator was fine, needs to work on his feminine voices and accents.

King for a reason

Revisado: 03-28-24

Another home run from King.

The setting, characters, story we once again so immersive, so memorable. I didn't want it to end, loved every twist and turn, and he sticks the ending. I loved it.

Great fun fantasy

Reminds me of A Knight in Seven Kingdoms with more humor. Very entertaining, would recommend.

Rich white man steals and lies his way to success

Revisado: 03-15-22

Phil Knight tries hard to come off as relatable, as normal, as someone who worked for what he achieved, but the comes off as an entitled jerk who lies to everyone, uses his position of power to meet women, and pretends getting cut from a high school baseball team makes him know what struggle is about. A true story of where you start dictating where you finish, he travels the world on daddy's dollar, and it's his parents who fund the company. I hated the novel, and the narrator was like someone reading a PowerPoint. Do not recommend.

One of the greatest novels ever

Revisado: 01-25-22

Amazing. An absolute journey the entire time. The narrator was the best I've ever experienced, made you feel the novel come alive with his countless voices. Just as good as The Stand, Lonesome Dove, or Dune in it's grandeur and beauty. Makes me wish I could have experienced Mumbai in the 80s
