Not the best in the series

Revisado: 01-31-24

I have loved this series but the writing for this book was not good. It is scattered and becomes incoherent at some places. If this is where we are in the series, let’s not do another book.

If you liked Delta-V you will love Critical Mass!

Revisado: 03-16-23

Another good book by Suarez that covers everything except the bolt sizes used to build the Konstantin! The story arc follows a great path with a few more surprises that I expected.

Why then is this review not a 5 of 5? No spoilers - but I wanted more out of the writing at the climax at the end. After you conclude this great novel you may feel the same or still trying to remember the total tonnage launched from Mora Base!

Good Good Good

Revisado: 07-06-21

Overall another good one from Andy Weir and the production of this audio book is phenomenal.

The one reason I am not able to give it 5 stars is the abrupt ending. After the extremely detailed chapters on each and every story arc we are given a few pages to wrap up the story. So disappointing.

Perfect Book For Geeks

Revisado: 02-10-15

There have been few books I could not stop listening to, if any. But this book was just that a series page turner that I found myself neglecting everything to finish. Will reading it was excellent and the story line was superb. If you love sci-fi, games, or just love technology this book is for you.

Love it or hate it....

Revisado: 01-02-14

The story telling is good. If you are reading this to get a feel for how it will be thru-hiking the AT then read AWOL instead. Bill Bryson is great at telling a story and through his memory of hiking he did just that. For me though, I am a Bill Bryson hater....

Thought Provoking Book

Revisado: 03-07-13

If you are looking to understand the science and history around innovation grounded in facts that span the life of Ford, 3M, and Apple then this is the book for you.

Steven does a good job beating (read repetitive) into the science behind what makes innovation so special and albeit hard to manufacture.

A book for life and business backed up with facts

Revisado: 03-07-13

This book applies a basic principal of asking yourself in every decision you are making in your professional career and personal life 'Why?' The good thing is it does not stop there, it continues on to support you (and its theory) with facts for exactly the reason you should be asking 'Why' in that particular scenario.

To many business books today provide a topical overview without any depth to support you or a theory. This book provides all of that and also is incredibly easy to listen to.

A rel treat is that this book sounds more natural reading it on 1.5x speed bump.

A Differnet Side of Pres. Bush Revealed

Revisado: 12-01-10

I finished this week reading (listening) to President George W. Bush???s memoir ???Decision Points.??? This book was one I had been anticipating for quite some time and after finishing it I must say I was not disappointed.

The book is put together completely different then other memoir as President Bush talks about not his life but the decision???s he had to make that shaped his presidency. Topics ranging from Iraq, Afghanistan, Stem Cell Research, 9/11, Staff Issues, Katrina, and the financial crisis you get an inside look into what went into his decision???s as well as a selfless look at how difficult of a time he had during situations.

The bigger topics (9/11, Iraq, Katrina) were quite fulfilling and intriguing the chapter he spoke on his work with AIDS victims in Africa was a side to this President I had never seen or read about it. His desire to combat the spread throughout Africa reveals the softer side of this war time President and something the US Media Outlets failed to reveal. President Bush wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post just today (12/1) talking about his ongoing policy to help fight AIDS.

Most like me will read this book to hear about how/why he dealt with certain situations the way he did (be prepared with a tissue when reading the 9/11 chapter, just warning you) but I hope as I did, others will see a softer side of the President Bush.

Great Idea's!

Revisado: 10-06-10

I stress the point of idea's because unless you are building company from the ground up as Tim did it will be nearly impossible to shift a large business (or medium size one for that mater) to a business run this way.

With that I give the book 4 stars as it is brilliant and inspiring. As others stated, the reading is poor which is why I give it 4 instead of 5.

Splended Look From the First Lady

Revisado: 10-06-10

First off, this is a book not about Politics but about the viewpoint of a very smart and intelligent First Lady.

I expected more politics but was pleasantly surprised to get a full picture being painted of the life of Laura Bush.
