Good for a first book

Revisado: 03-30-19

The narration of this book is done well, but I’d likely enjoy it more if I was reading the hard copy version rather than listening to the audio. The narrator’s voice makes you want to keep reading, but it’s hard to give the book your full attention. The descriptions of characters and landscape are really lengthy. The conversations between characters allow for a mental change in scenery and gives the listener a break from the descriptions/explanations. There is also little enthusiasm expressed in the narration, and the seriousness of all the information makes the book a challenging listen. Even with the clear portrayal of the characters emotions it’s still a challenge to keep reading.
In a nutshell, this book is about the precarious balance between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ as well as the inevitable desire by those who clue into this imbalance to tilt the scale from what’s ‘wrong’ to ‘what’s right ‘. As it is a time old tale, the authors use of a futuristic environment enables him to appeal to those who enjoy language that is technical in nature. It does however make it a challenging read for anyone who either isn’t interested in descriptions of technology, or isn’t interested in the use of language that attempts to describe technology in a way that is palatable. The author has great ideas, and the book is well written, therefore the hope is that it grows on you with time. It’s a good effort for a first book, hence the four stars.
