Man yells at cloud

Revisado: 09-28-22

I liked some of the other books of Mr Smil in the he past. This book however, ended up just leaving an irritating impression.
While the book does contain some interesting data points, it also spends a good chunk of its content crapping on everything in the modern world while offering only feeble incremental solutions while in the same time complaining no one has the solutions. On occasions the author contradicts himself between chapters.
The thesis also doesn't highlight what appears to be one of the keys to the solution, that of drastically reducing the world population, that seems to be only solution that comes to mind given the postulates in the book.

Simply amazing

Revisado: 02-13-22

Project Hail Mary is my favorite book in a long time. i don't want to spoil any of it, so enough to say that the writing is fantastic, witty and in the same time tons of science and science fiction goodness.
The audiobook delivery is spectacular, the best of all books i listened to so far.

A true masterpiece!

Good ideas, so so execution

Revisado: 10-12-21

While the premise is really interesting, mixing science, magic, time travel..., the delivery let's a lot to be desired, both from a writing perspective and the audio delivery.
Writing style is very hard to digest, instead of a narration, tries to use various"documents" characters have written to explain what happens, which sometimes becomes silly.
also the attempts at corporate humor do little to make the story more interesting and are somewhat cringe.
The audio delivery is a little difficult to listen to, the narrator tries to imitate all sort of accents and have various voices for the characters. Some of them are somewhat difficult to listen to and therefore make the narration less enjoyable.

Fantastic!

The intrigue deepens, all of the characters we got to love across the whole series get together for a spectacular showdown. Loved it, can't wait for the next books, i am at the edge of my seat.

My favorite book so far

Revisado: 05-04-20

I live the Expanse series and have been going through the books voraciously. Ames being my favorite I was super pleased that this novella focused on his persona and I love the backstory.

absolutely brilliant

Revisado: 02-06-20

I loved this first book of the new AO saga!
as much as I enjoyed Jason's arc, Finn's story resonated with me.in a powerful way. the intrigue is masterfully crafted, the pace of the story keeps one on edge and the style of writing has matured.

the audio performance was amazing, similarly to previous AO books

interesting thesis but too slow

Revisado: 10-30-17

the main thesis in the book is interesting and the narration is nice however the story drags on and development is very slow and the "revelations" are very predictable. Overall ok but not stellar.
