Critiques et Commentaires

Like the first book in the series, I had a good laugh and paused to think a few times. An excellent novella for a warm summer night that offers a peculiar perspective on some of our real world problems.

Qui sommes-nous ? Pourquoi sommes-nous là ? Où allons-nous ?

Ce n'est pas « Dessines-moi un mouton » et il n'y a pas de planète d'ivrogne, mais le concept est similaire. Un voyage à travers l'espace et le temps rempli de philosophie.

Ah, I see, it's Le Petit Prince meets Q from Star Trek with some Interstellar mixed in, except it is the fox visiting the child.

Prologue to Stormlight 5 | Brandon Sanderson

Fantastic to a point I did not expect. Very meta, and covers aspects that took me by surprise. I rarely read the descriptions of books written by authors that I have read before, and here it totally paid off. If you have read the previous two works by this author, you will like where this book takes you.

I knew I would enjoy this

Well-written. Funny. Cute, even. The characters are wonderful, and I am looking forward to their continuing adventures.

I'm already a little upset that this is just a novella, luckily it will be part of a series.

Ever since Snow Crash, Stephenson has had me hooked. So, I can say only good things about this book. Great story, great characters, etc., etc.

I do feel that in a few years, we might (very strong might) find ourselves speaking about this book the same way we speak about the aforementioned work: as some sort of prophetic vision of the future and how we will come to deal with climate change.

I also have to say that the author sneaks in some current affairs. There are things mentioned that may require future readers to check Wikipedia, and there are a few nuanced opinions too.

I took off one star because I feel like the story wasn't quite ready to end and it all rapped up nest and tidy in the swiftest way possible.

Finally getting back into reading and making some progress on this book. I have nothing but good things to say about it so far. Stephenson, as usual, has written a book that pleases the sci-fi nerd in me through excellent character development and pacing.

This book right here is a good reason to learn French. In fact, it is a good example of why everyone should learn any other language. Excellent story...I will be sad when this is over.

Man. Speculative fiction that reads like the morning news. Everything you can think of is in this book. Every buzzword used in the past 5 years and some things that have only recently come up. This book is taking me far too long to read but I need to take time to digest some of the points and how much they reflect on what is happening in the world.

The author did their research and then some: the book covers political, social, economic, technological, and [insert adjective] theories. From blockchain to rewilding. It is all there.

Although I haven't finished, I think this book should be required reading for students in multiple fields. The same way that Snow Crash (Stephenson) was required reading at Microsoft, this should be in the hands of...everyone before they head off to university or decide on their careers.

Loved this book and the series as a whole. So glad it will become a series hughhowey.com/the-wool-tv-show/

When I read this book I was just getting back into reading, or rather discovering reading outside of school for the first time.

Looking forward to seeing this come to life.

I think this will be the book I recommend the most this year. It is entertaining from beginning to end. If you like sci-fi or space stories, read it. If you don't, read it anyway because you will laugh. It is very rare that I tear through a book in the span of a day, but, and I apologise for the cliché, I could not put this book down.

Loving this already. Procedural detective work in space. Wonderful.
