A true statesman

Revisado: 01-30-24

Incredible book that only increased my admiration for Senator Romney. He sees through all of the pandering and hypocrisy that is so rampant in today’s GOP. It saddens me that he has chosen to withdraw from the arena when thoughtful leaders like him are exactly what we need at this time.

Tchaikovsky is the best!

Revisado: 12-20-21

Fantastic new series from Adrian Tchaikovsky. Such rich concepts that reminds me of the best of Hamilton. Having first read his “Children of Time” this is a great series as well.

Great premise, weak execution

Revisado: 12-20-21

I really wanted to like this book and despite wanting to give up several times, stayed to the end. Silly dialogue that prides itself on profanity (and I’m not averse to that) but it all just seemed so implausible that I’m glad it’s over. Not going to purchase the next books as there are so many other worthy uses of my driving time.

Mediocre listen

Revisado: 08-04-21

Had high hopes for this as The Martian is one of my favs but like Artemis, this didn’t live up to that standard. Narration tried to be funny and hip but was mainly annoying. I did like the concept of 2 completely unrelated species working together but I hoped that it would be scientifically at least somewhat plausible but that isn’t the case here.

St. Mandel does is again!

Station11 is one of my favorite books ever. While this wasn’t at the same pace, the story she created is amazing. Her ability to weave these complex stories is unequaled in current literature.

Very surprised, liked a lot

Revisado: 05-19-21

Didn't expect a lot from this Audible free listen and really enjoyed the concept and characters. Teaming up with an alien who's species just destroyed earth wasn't something I thought would work but it was a fun listen. Actually stopped listening to "Heavens River" Bobiverse book since I wasn't enjoying and this was refreshing and new. We'll see how the rest of the trilogy is!

Good premise, poor execution

Revisado: 03-31-21

I enjoyed the first part of the book as it envisioned a 2030s conflict between the US and China. Considering the background of the authors I expected it to be somewhat plausible. Instead it became a silly stretch and I had to just resign myself to finishing it off.

Beautiful writing, relevant story, a bit corny

Revisado: 06-01-20

Really enjoy the premise of this book. Man post pandemic, recreational pilot hangs with a solid military bro to defend their territory for many years. Pilot leaves and happens to fly over a pretty woman? Silly from then on and I think that this post-apocalypse future is too dark. Station 11 is a better book and more “real” in my eyes.

Spot on analysis of current political climate

Revisado: 04-15-20

Incredible book written by a “conservative” insider that details how Trump and his cronies destroyed the Republican Party. Just hope that we Americans see through Trumps facade and end this before he takes down the entire nation.
