I really liked your discussion of the narration/perspective in the book. Really interesting. And I’m excited to pick up this audiobook. I’ve been looking forward to this, but I didn’t know it was done in interviews and I loved the World War Z audiobook so much.
Great review! I’ve been on the fence about bumping this on my TBR, but I’ll definitely check out the audiobook like you suggested!
This book sounds fantastic and fun. I don’t listen to a lot of audiobooks, but I’m tempted to try it again with this one. I’ve never listened to one with a full cast.
The audio book is amazing highly recommend also
Hmm the interview narration technique has me really interested. I love it when you get really subjective points of view. (Reminded me of the TV series The Affair, which I can highly recommend if you haven’t watched it.) Maybe I’ll pick this one up, I’m new to the sci-fi genre and something light and fun sounds perfect for me 🙂
I’m not normally into sci fi but the narrative style sounds super interesting and I am always looking for great audiobooks. I hadn’t heard of this before seeing your review, I’m so glad you read and reviewed it, sounds so entertaining. Gonna pick it for my next drive to So Cal! I like to choose less complex for audiobooks in any case
Great review! I am about to pick this up from the library and wanted to check out your thoughts on it first. I heard this compared to The Martian a bit in that it is a really fun story that is kind of quick and entertaining and feels almost like a movie. I’m kinda of excited to give it a try even though I don’t read a lot of science fiction
I’m currently listening to this audiobook. Your review is great, I can’t wait to get deeper in the story.
I agree, I’ve also not seen many reviews of this one yet so this was great! I’ve been staring at the cover in my local bookstore the last few times I’ve gone in, but sounds like I may need to check out the audiobook instead! 🙂
Great review. I’ve seen a couple of other reviews on this you might be interested in by SFF180 and RhodesReads. I was so excited about this one before the release but now I’m unsure if I’ll enjoy it. The words fast paced always tend to put me off a book but then I loved the long way to a small angry planet and that was a fun easy read so I just don’t know! Haha
I’m listening to the audiobook now. I’m loving it. Great review! Subscribed!
Ok so I’m not a huge sci-fi fan as I’m finding out, but your comments on the audiobook and it’s quality and also fun-ness made me really interested. Like you said, it’s been all over the place on the Bookish side of the internet, but I haven’t heard anyone actually review it. Great video!
I just read this and I agree with you totally! It’s not a deep read, but still a good story.
