Whoa

Revisado: 11-11-24

Incredibly done, woven together perfectly, and a gut punch of an end. I can't wait for the rest of this series.

Tries to be an allegory

Revisado: 09-13-24

First, while Rob Bell is an enthusiastic narrator, he needs an editor. Long pauses, sips of drinks?, mispronounced words that are corrected as he goes... definitely not professionally narrated. Secondly, the characters are too nice to actually have done what they've purported to do. Lots of problems with the logistics of how this system is supposed to work. Not much actually happens. Long teaching sections which are supposed to show us how wrong the system of governance is, but I don't really care about the system at all, so whatever. I am now less likely to pick up any book written by Rob Bell.

Good updated look at the science

I learned some new things and corrected some outdated knowledge. Very accessible for the lay person.

Wow!!! Fantastic! Melancholic story of loss woven into a surreal mystery of the sea. Really well-written and narrated. Looking for more by this author!

Astounding.

I have no idea how the author does this. How small details show up later as keys to the struggle. How each character, wildly and deeply developed, keeps coming back to the top in the mix. HOW THIS BOOK IS EVEN POSSIBLE. Nick Harkaway is a genius.

Loved it!!!

Revisado: 01-25-21

I read The Girl with all the Gifts and The Boy on the Bridge and enjoyed them, but I wasn't sure I wanted to spend a credit on this one. I'm so glad I did! Well told with a compelling main character, an interesting world, and a suspenseful storyline. I thought I could predict the story at a few points and I was surprised to be wrong! No easy outs here. And the narrator is FANTASTIC.

Funny and sweet! Adam does a great job narrating his growing up in the figure skating world.

Yadda Yadda Yadda

Revisado: 03-05-20

I love this series and have been waiting for this installment. It begins with a wonderful previously published short story. But after that, all these characters do is talk and talk and think about talking and second-guess all the thoughts and all the decisions and have conflicts with hidden(to the reader) motives. And the action moves at a snail's pace, flipping between the past and the future until we finally, excruciatingly arrive at the central event, which is so anticlimactic that I wondered what I'd missed. The author says the next book's long, I hope it's better.

YA?

Revisado: 03-05-20

Honestly, except for the foul language, it comes across as a YA book. If I were an editor, I'd clean it up, repackage it for a younger audience, and voila! It's an enjoyable book. Otherwise, it's pretty light on emotional depth, characters, and plot payoff.
