Good, well written, but not what I expected. I'd hoped for more “restoring American democracy” than “trumpocalypse” Getting America back on its feet is important to me right now

I love Asher's Polity books and stories, and this was a great selection of stories. You can tell they rushed this book to market though. A few typos and in many places you see the final edits made during the final edit, but not processed before publishing. Still a great and engaging read.

Enjoyed it, but way, way too long. Went into GREAT detail on a lot of stuff that dragged the book along. Not my favorite Stephenson book, but still good. Just not great.

Ugh. Good book, great story teller, but way, way too many disjointed plots. Just too much happened in this book, so much unexplained. I doubt I will finish the series.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I freaking loved this book.

Wow, amazing book.

Enjoyed the read, continuing to learn more about Black history. This was less of a history book as a story, but still very interesting.

Wow, wow, wow - just loved it. I explained to my wife how it was a great book based on a ridiculous premise ( a city becoming alive) but the I just works. Amazing skill on the part of the author.

I'm sad it's part of a trilogy, I'm so tired of authors not being able to keep their atori a into one book. I'm not willing to invest two more years in this, so I'll sit and read the next two only when both are available.

It's a really great book, very well written, easy read. It's nothing like it's portrayed in the media, it's Bolton's memoir about his time in the White House and not really that much about trump. It does a great job proving that trump is an idiot and cares more about himself than America and Americans, but it's really not about trump. I learned a lot about world happenings during his tenure, background on events I read about in the news. He's a sharp, smart guy. He even explains quite clearly how what everyone says about him testifying in the impeachment trial was inaccurate and poorly portrayed in the media.

Wow, that's all I can say. Wow.

Great book! As expected, a hard read for an old white guy but full of amazing insights. I still have a lot to learn, but this was a great first step read for me.

great book, great story. It feels like the author kept things open for a sequel and that's disappointing. Time to close this thread down and go somewhere else.

Love murderbot. Just love it. This one is a little different. It's a long story, with a lot of stuff in it. Can't wait until the next one.

Enjoyed it. Twas a little long winded in some sections, but an interesting and insightful read.

Really good read, I loved it. Some weirdness though - the book is written in a style where the single timeline is split in half and the different parts interspersed. So you read one part of the timeline for a while (chapter) then go back to the other timeline for a while. It's weird, but fun, annoying, but a nice new approach. I liked it but hated it at the same time.

The only real complaint I have is that the author is so very fixated on everyone in the story not being who we think they are and all this really, really hard to follow subterfuge about who was really who in a previous life and who is really who's offspring. I absolutely hated that, it was way too hard to understand what was going on. If the next book is like that, I'm not going to complete the series.

Rough cut, released before ready

Good story, a fun read. But lots of typos and missing punctuation. Clearly rushed to market with only a light edit. Expected better.

Written in a style that made it harder to learn. Needed more figures illustrating topics. Less words, more drawings.

I normally hate it when authors write an amazing book but then force it into a trilogy. In this case, all three books were interesting, engaging and fun, so I didn't mind. Great book, great story. Read it.

Wow, that's all I can say. What a great, compelling story. Amazing first book. I'm disappointed it's the first of a series, writers nowadays seem incapable of telling all of a story within 500 pages. Too bad.

I just didn't like this as much as I liked his other books. It's disjointed and jumps around a bunch. Sometimes it's about talking to strangers, but most of it isn't. I'm a little disappointed since his other books were so good.

It was OK, not exactly what I expected. I guess I wanted to know more about him and how he got where he is, and I got some of that from the book, but there was a lot of long and drawn out explanations of things I just wasn't interested in.

Card's books lately consist primarily of characters arguing amongst themselves. I found myself skipping so many pages of long discussions and arguments that I finally just gave up on the book and moved on. I hope I remember this review when the next book in the series comes out so I won't order it.

Not as good as other Morgan books

This one started in the Morgan style, violent and gritty. It quickly slowed into a couple hundred pages or useless dialog about geopolitical crap that didn't advance the book at all. Complete waste of pages and I found myself scanning ahead to get back to the point of the book. Somethings wrong with Morgan here, not the same quality as his other work. Don't waste your time with this one.

Stupid book, had to stop reading it. Two completely different story lines lightly connected. No need for two thrillers wrapped up into one. I'm so sad o wasted time on this one. Won't ever get that time back.

More science than I expected, much, much more. It was...Good, but I expected something more targeted at the regular populace.
