Waaaaay better and totally different than the movie

Revisado: 08-24-24

I think The Lost World is a lot better than Jurassic Park when talking specifically about the books. There is a lot more action in this one than Jurassic Park because the exposition is a lot shorter in this one. I would also say it is necessary to read Jurassic Park to understand Malcolm to the full extent.

I wish there was 6 stars for performance

Revisado: 03-08-22

It really is that good. In actuality Laurence Fishburne doesn't sound much like Malcolm X did but it was performed so well I really felt like Malcom X was sitting next to me talking about his past.

Andy Weir still amazing

Revisado: 08-19-21

Hard to imagine a 20ish hour long audio book feeling too short. There is more "fiction" to the science fiction with the advent of "astrophage" and "xenonite" so it is different from Artemis and the Martian in that respect but there needs to be some kind of plot device for these types of scifi novels. I happen to love how the science of the unknown is handled I this story. Sound effects and editing are used quite ingeniously and the narration style is spot on. I do wish there was an epilogue from the perspective of Stratt.

70 years old and still relevant

When Asimov wrote this book he was talking about robots but the concepts are exactly the same as the issues we face while developing AI. Asimov was so far ahead of his time it is amazing. Also, Greg and Mike are amazing characters.

Not quite what I expected

Revisado: 02-19-20

I expected to hear more about the pharmacology and physiological effects of caffeine. It was still an interesting listen but a better title would be something along the lines of "the history of tea and coffee and my experience". I would have preferred a more objective approach.

Thrawn is a great character

Revisado: 02-26-19

A great story in the Star Wars Galaxy with a phenomenal performance and amazing production value. The voice acting, voice filters, and sound effects are really immersive. The only reason I can't give 5 stars for the story is because the many flashbacks telling Anakin's story during the clone wars pulled me out of the moment when switching timelines.

Read it/listen even if you saw the movie

Revisado: 11-18-18

Really fantastic story with amazing pacing. Will Wheaton is a fantastic voice actor who totally sucks you in. The events of the book are very different from the movie so the only real spoiler is good guys win and bad guys lose. The story is not that realistic but you are reading the wrong book if that is what you are expecting.

Great intrigue

Revisado: 09-25-18

Compared to the first two foundation books, the plot follows a more continuous narrative with fewer characters and timelines. The overall story arc from the first two books is extremely important so reading straight through from the previous books is recommended. The book is like one big puzzle putting itself together finally finishing with pieces from all three books falling into place creating a beautiful, intricate tapestry of events and people. You will have to suspend disbelief a good amount in terms of mind control that goes much further than the other Foundation books.
