Listen to the audiobook, I tell you, it‘s so much better that way. Saying why exactly would be a spoiler, so I won‘t, but there‘s an in-universe reason; also, great production value.

This book is all I wished The Martian to be.

5.0/5

catsuit_mango If done right, the spoiler things must be nice in audiobook.... Too bad any audiobook sample won't have those parts ! 2y
eol @catsuit_mango it's too far into the game, I think. But it's done really well. They gave it this polyphonic, musicky feeling. And the wordless sounds - like surprise, delight, or sadness - are good, too. 2y
catsuit_mango @eol makes me want to listen to it now... I've seen there might be a movie but between that and the rest, I'd probably be disappointed ;) 2y

I loved the trilogy this book follows, though I can understand why someone would not—it's written in a style that could be considered flat. I like it though—this underhanded, unostentatious treatment of emotions. The style is the same here, and, even if the plot is less intricate, it's still a win in my book.

4.0/5
