Entertaining.

Revisado: 11-14-24

There are a lot of fiction titles I involuntarily tune out, but this kept my attention the whole time. I don’t care for Ann and the jokes the kids share between each other, but that’s the low point of the book and not overly significant.

Excellent all around.

Revisado: 08-17-24

I read a lot, particularly history, economics, and technological innovation pieces because it’s pertinent to my job. As a result, fiction that focuses on a single character often feels underwhelming for me in terms of scale. This series observes a narrative over the broad stokes of time that engrossed me throughout. It uses the same names to represent similar characters over that timeline and doing so provides continuity that may otherwise be lost if focusing on a wider array of names. I truly have no criticism for this work.

Series continues to be good.

Revisado: 05-18-24

It keeps a similar tone to the first book and does a good job of telling a connected story. It doesn’t leave a lot of room for the reader’s own interpretations and hands you the characters internal thoughts, but it also does so to explain away any possible plot holes. I didn’t care for how the beginning of the book leans heavily on bullying, which is a common theme throughout so many books that are set in schools. It just shows how ubiquitous this problem must be in our society because there are so many who can write about the experience of being needlessly bullied.

Well told and not too long.

Revisado: 05-16-24

I enjoyed that It told a compelling story in a short runtime. There were some moments where it lets you make your own judgments and others where it hands it straight to you. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the rest of the series was available for free, so hopefully the quality stays at this level. Having dipped into the second book I’m satisfied that the tone and length so far have remained consistent. This could have easily been lumped together into one 50 hour monstrosity of a recording that would keep you from ever starting it, and I prefer that it’s broken down the way it is.

Good but hard to follow.

Revisado: 01-15-24

I enjoyed this book and felt it captured the cyberpunk atmosphere pretty well. I’m torn about its overall quality because personally I found it really hard to follow precisely what was going on. There are a lot of characters and scene transitions. This isn’t the first book I’ve had that problem with but it’s one of the few books I’ve listened to more than once to try and get a grasp on all the different things that are happening because it is good enough that I want to get it better, just have trouble tracking it all.

Thought provoking

Revisado: 10-28-23

An excellent look into our true motivations behind our words and actions. An excellent perspective on motives we have that we may not even be consciously aware of.

Very Good. Some moments of repetition.

Revisado: 06-23-23

It’s an entertaining and well written story that considers all the angles. There were a few times where one character repeatedly voices similar objections to a plan and why it cannot work where things become somewhat dull. Overall that is the low point of the book and the rest of it remains competent and compelling.

Thought provoking

Good food for thought. It caused me to consider some things that I had not before, and that is what I got this book for.

Insightful

Revisado: 06-05-23

I would like to think that this is the mindset I’ve been ascribed to for some time, even then, there were some excellent points in this book I hadn’t considered.

Good. Buy cash, not with a credit

Revisado: 05-30-23

This is the foundational short story that later became the story we know from the movies. It’s enjoyable, but only an hour long. Don’t use a credit on it, pick it up for cash on sale.
