Fascinating concept. Fun intrigue. Good action.

Rated Leviathan Falls 10/10

Almost all of the fiction I read is Sci-Fi. I can't think of the last fiction I've read that wasn't Sci-Fi.<br/><br/>I say that because I know very little of "fine literature" – whatever that is. Establishing that – 🤯.<br/><br/>Just the writing is amazing. Certainly the most poetic fiction I've read in a long time. This is the most poetic writing that I've ever read – without getting bored out of my mind. Quite the contrary. I found myself pausing the book to shake my head. Beautiful.<br/><br/>Such a fitting end to the series. Exciting. Nerve racking. Heart breaking. All the things.<br/><br/>I've been saying "Read the Expanse Series" for years now. I'm not sure how my recommendation could have gotten any stronger – but it has.<br/><br/>

Rated Ready Player Two 4/10

I listened to it with my son, so I have some nostalgia.<br/><br/>Ugh. I wanted to like this book. Felt too much like a forced sequel.<br/><br/>If you REALLY liked the first book, you'll likely...uh...enjoy(?) this one.

Rated Cibola Burn 8/10

The guy who read the first three was AMAZING.<br/>The guy who read #4 was just okay.<br/><br/>Even with the attempt to weigh the performance into my review of this book, I'm still left thinking it wasn't as good as the first books.<br/><br/>It was still great. If you're into the series, but all means grab this guy.

Holy, crazy awesome. Original in so many dimensions. Fascinating reflection on progress, violence, religion, alternative evolution.<br/><br/>recommended without reservation
