I’ve become as passionate about sleep as the author after reading this book. Highly recommend

Expected Better

Revisado: 09-25-19

The Martian is my favorite book, possibly of all time, so when I read Artemis I was shocked to find that the dialogue, narrator, and characters felt shallow and unbelievable. Nearly every line reminded me that the story was made up, because real people don't talk like that. with only a few hours left, I abandoned the book.

Stephen King needs an editor

Revisado: 09-25-19

I can handle long books but this one feels it's length. I'm half way through and I can't get myself to read on. there are so many lines that make me feel like shouting "I get it already!" With a little more paring down, this could have been great, but as it is, I can hardly stand it

not for me

Revisado: 09-17-19

t. c. Boyle is clearly a skilled writer, but I prefer books with more story and likeable characters. The white man was a hypocrite, and though the Mexican man has good character, the universe betrays him time and time again. The story is so miserable, I struggled to finish. if you like books like that, you'll love this one, as Boyle has a mastery of language

couldn't bring myself to continue reading

the characters are shallow and the story fails to help me suspend my disbelief, especially when characters act in ways that I cannot understand

Neil Gaiman makes it

Revisado: 06-30-19

Neil Gaiman could make a Sears catalog into the most enthralling story you've ever read. His expertise is displayed in this book

Scarily true

Revisado: 07-25-15

As a college student and writer of gay fan fiction and socially awkward geek with social anxiety I can attest to the verity of this book. It is far too true, but in a good way. I'm going to start writing my own stuff now.

A clever romance made unbearable

Revisado: 07-09-13

What didn’t you like about Kevin T. Collins’s performance?

Trying to ignore the aggravating voices and infuriating accents, the fantasy has a clever plot, great characters, and a romance that isn't too cheesy. However, it would seem that the characters were ment to be intelligent and strong willed, not air-headed and soft as Mr. Collins so reads them. If you are at all able, read the book with your own to eyes. This performance is bad enough to ruin the otherwise enjoyable story.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

All of the above.

Who can hate a classic? Or an accent!

Revisado: 07-09-13

What did you love best about The Metamorphosis and Other Stories?

The stories within this book are as strange as anything I've ever read (or rather, heard) in my life! However, reading from a higher-level philosophical standpoint, it is full of mind boggling depictions of human life and priorities which many short stories lack. Yet, it still is full of intrigue and plot, though one might have thought otherwise!
And, of course, Tom Whitworth's reading was wonderful! His voice is calm and deep and full of character and life! Plus, he's got a manly british accent, which is soothing to the ears.
