Fantastic book that combines great geology with powerful insights.

Revisado: 11-22-24

I liked every minute of Turning To Stone. The author’s intelligence, humor, and wisdom are inspiring, and to also increase my knowledge and love for geology is a real treat. I will return to it many times.

Another imaginative near future yarn

Revisado: 08-21-24

I appreciate the value of repetition in fiction, and really like KSR’s approach to exploring reality ty and possible realities. It’s sometimes a little over the top but even the coincidences and stretches are entertainingly written, and they go by too quickly, a sign of a good book.

Honest, enjoyable discussion of off world settlement

Revisado: 12-29-23

I really liked this book, and this audiobook. It covers a wide range of topics related to life in space, bringing a ‘big picture’ and evidence based approach to to topic that’s been missing, while being presented in an engaging and easy to listen to way. It piqued my interest to learn more before coming to my own conclusions about their Weinersmith’s conclusions; this is so complicated!

Fun, educational, just the right amount of gross!

Revisado: 11-01-23

I really enjoyed this book, laughing out loud more frequently than any book for a long time. “Houston: We have separation!” should become a common
saying forever. There are parts that are a bit too long but the funny bits make it a great read!

This books helps make the future changes climate a real and frightening place. I learned a lot and better understand what we have wrought, and what we can expect in the years ahead, and clearly calls out what has led to this snd where we must change as a species.

The machinations weren’t my cup of tea

Revisado: 07-20-23

This book seems perfect for some, who appreciate the finer points of aristocratic society in England a century or so ago, and the moral virtues and despicable actions of the characters were entertaining but it was difficult for me to really care about them. Perhaps in a different time if my life, but I’ll look for more accessible stories from now on.

Well written and read

Revisado: 06-30-23

This is a thought provoking book, surveying what science has learned about the fundamental nature of the universe, putting superstition and religion in an historical and allegorical context where it belongs. I couldn’t understand every word but am more enlightened by having listened to the wonders of reality.

The saga continues…

Revisado: 06-06-23

Another fine tale of the great adventure. It’s now somewhat formulaic, but with such a writer it’s always fun to read.

Same high quality yarn and reading!

Revisado: 05-14-23

Nothing gives me more pleasure than sitting down to listen to another Maturin Aubrey book. This doesn’t disappoint. Good day to you, may god place flowers on your head.
