Entertaining, but annoying

Revisado: 11-08-23

It's a really fun idea, and there's a lot of interesting directions it could go, but some of it just gets to be annoying. Also, what's up with the brazilian? I feel like the author and narrator have never met a brazilian before. The character is portrayed as a cross between inigo montoya and speedy Gonzales. There's plenty of made up nations that would have made a lot more sense, but that's just one of the annoying parts of this book. I think it's still worth reading. It's not as good as it could be, but I will continue the series to see where it goes.

A little heavy

Revisado: 10-25-23

This is a lot better than the movie, it's not as dark. It's still pretty heavy though. Almost an allegory of some diseases. It's not a feel good story, but it feels realistic. I like the character development, but the characters aren't that likable. They're a little pompous, criticizing high writing and classical music pieces. Also a lot of random German and French poetry, in their original languages. Then there's the highclass society loading the values of Marxist philosophy, it's a little sarcastic, but it's slightly obnoxious. The love story is touching and the tine traveling is interesting. I like the different look at time travel, out of control and more of a burden.

Well written, not for me.

Revisado: 10-11-23

I found the story boring. If there was ever a reason to use the word, "Aft", it was used. It was well read, and well written. There wasn't a lot of character development, just some back stories. It felt like a dramatic historical documentary. You really get to understand what it would be like to be on a submarine. The situations and settings were well described. If you want to feel what it would be like to be on a submarine, during the cold war, this book is for you. It's not for me.

If you look up Odd Thomas, this comes up

Revisado: 09-23-23

I bought this before I noticed the subtitle and immediately tried to return it. Returns only apply to books purchased with credits. I believe this is intentionally misleading. The real Odd Thomas is available for preorder, but if you search Odd Thomas this comes up, without the subtitle.

Good, way better than the first book

Revisado: 10-09-20

First book kinda sucked. This one was good. Better character development. It started out a little bad, but came around at the end. it veered away from the initial pedophilia it seemed to be leading up to, and I was gonna have to turn it off, if it went any further. But, it took a direction towards scifi instead of grown man fantasies of a 14 year old. This book was sci-fi, unlike the first one. That one was just a terrible story inside of a sci fi setting. This book actually deals with sci-fi themes, time travel, aliens, warmholes, spaceships, telepathy... It still goes into personal emotional struggles, like the first, but significantly more palatable.

The story wasn't good.

Revisado: 09-22-20

It was very boring, centered around one character who isn't that interesting. Not exactly science fiction, but takes place in a sci-fi setting. An indecisive person who, when he does make decisions, struggles to accept the decisions he has made. There is nothing unique or exceptional about this book. I'm not sure what qualified it to win awards. The narration was very well done.

The book follows a bitter angry man. If you want to capture that feeling of being stuck with a talkative depressed stranger, this is the book for you.

Brilliant!

Well written, great stories, and very well told. I had already learned to appreciate Trevor Noah, but this took my respect to a new level.
