Don’t read this book. Yet.

Revisado: 06-30-19

Wait.

I knew this before starting it that I should wait until book two is out.

But I couldn’t and now here I am imagining ways in which I could get Peter to finish book two faster.

I’m glad I don’t take reviews seriously

Revisado: 08-08-18

If you’ve read Alastair’s other books and liked them, or better yet have listened to John Lee narrate them and you don’t like it, it’s you.

This was a fantastic book through and through.

Saved

Revisado: 06-29-17

The first book blew me away. As in the author should be slotted into the, "Generational" category.

Book two was shaping up the same way until I took issue with a major plot development. I was unable to suspend belief any further.

I had written off the book, but within the final minutes Cixin redeemed himself.

My only trepidation going forward towards book three is that I'm hoping Cixin cements his status as one of the best sci fi authors of all time and that book one wasn't an outlier.

I wanted to like it

Revisado: 10-16-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I hesitate writing a negative review, but this is the first series I've audibly complained to while listening.

For what it's worth, I love Peter Hamilton, Alistair Reynolds, S.A. Corey, Dan Simmons, China Mieville and so many others.

This series is pure fantasy written in the future. If you are looking to find the polar opposite of hard SF, this is your cup of tea. It reminds me of Kirk-era Star Trek writing.

Would you ever listen to anything by Kristine Kathryn Rusch again?

Probably not.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

This is an ambiguous question that is difficult to answer.

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

Dissapointment.

There were simply too many unbelievable machinations I was required to accept. I'm not speaking of the "Somewhat unrealistic" flavour, rather it's of the "Are you f'in kidding me?" variety.

I'll save specific instances so as not to ruin anyone else's enjoyment of the book. Needless to say, the chances of the world the main characters live in coming to fruition are smaller than me spontaneously changing genders.

The main characters are decent enough, but so many of the powerful, ruling-class characters that make their way into the stories lead me to believe they are timid pre-teens with sub-50 IQ's transferred into older hosts.

Great book ruined by small minded idiots

Revisado: 05-04-13

What made the experience of listening to Antifragile the most enjoyable?

What made it least enjoyable was some small group of cretins at Random House who decided they should censor various words with which they have trouble with.

I suggest to anyone who can't handle the word bull $hit and the like should go back to reading picture books.

Random House, you should be ashamed.

What does Joe Ochman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He performed great.
