Right off the bat, I am leaning more towards a 3.5 star rating, but I am willing to give the start of this series a bit of a pass. This is one of the first real new-aged science fiction book that I have read and it really took a while to get use to the pop references and the speech patterns of the main character. But after that and I was able to get to the heart of the story it certainly was a fun one. I'd recommend this book if you want a bit of a lighter science fiction read.

a really interesting book. worth a read but this just okay.

This is a solid book that outlines a lot of best practices of software development. As I think with all these styles of books, take away a tid-bit or two and you have succeeded. This one gave me a few points to think about to better myself!

Not really sure how I feel about listening to these kind of non-fiction books, but this one was pretty good.

This book is great, really interesting science fiction and super enjoyable to listen to on our drive up north for Thanksgiving.

I really enjoyed Blade Runner. I have yet to see the movie, so maybe that helped. Philip K. Dick knows how to write to me. This book kept me guessing and wondering what was what. It was a nice feeling...

I really enjoyed this book. Sure there were some awkward teen angst and sexual innuendos, but overall I thought the story was strong and the character development well done. I am excited for part 2 of this story!

What a fun little read. I can see why everyone enjoys Philip K. Dick, this story was imaginative, fun, and entertaining. I highly recommend it!

I am really not sure about this book. I came into it wanting to absolutely love it, but I left it with mixed emotions. I think William Gibson is an amazing wordsmith, but feel that the overall plot was just too dense and somewhat confusing at parts. This could have been due to listening to it in audiobook format...

I am really liking this! Volume 2 was just as good as Volume 1 and now I need to go get the third volume!!

Pretty good book. There were parts that were a bit childish to me, but overall the story line kept me engaged.

This was a surprisingly entertaining book. Sure it was a bit of a light read, but the story is fully engaging. I highly recommend it. Wish I could give half stars, totally a 4.5 star.

Oh my goodness, glad to have finished this book. It was sad that I continued listening hoping for some sort of reason to have sat through this book, but it never came. The trials CJ went through in the second half of the book were almost silly and completely predictable with how zany they were. This was such a let-down. I feel the book was overly violent for no real reason, there were moments where I had to step away from it due to the description of some of the attacks. Wow...

Still excited to see this series through, but this one just didn't have the umph that the first one did, but boy what a cliffhanger!

I really enjoyed 14, but not as much as The Fold. Each of his books keep missing the 5 star mark for me, but I think they are totally worth it.

This was a pretty good start to get back into the world of comic books. I am very interested to see the outcome of this story! Also, the art is beautiful. :thumbsup:

The story was pretty good, and I really like the idea of time travel, but I think this is the first time an audiobook ruined a good book for me... maybe I will try and read it myself in paper form.

I am not sure how I feel about this book. The whole thing was super engaging and interesting except the resolution... and that left a terrible feeling towards this book. Not sure why it was wrapped up so quickly or without any real resolve. Too bad.

This was another great Neil Gaiman book, I still think I liked American Gods more, but this one is right up there. Thinking I might have a new favorite author!

I really enjoyed the technical writing of Andy Weir, but he is no character writer. By the end of the book, I didn't care if Watney lived or died, I just wanted him to stop narrating.

What a FANTASTIC book... Give it a try and you'd be glad you did.

I would probably give this book a 3.5 stars if possible. I really enjoyed the mystery of this story, but there were times that I had to roll my eyes at events that needed to happen to keep this story moving. Overall, it was entertaining which I am happy for.

Wow, that was a great book. One of the better ones I have listened to in quite some time

Oh my... I think I am definitely done with Cormac McCarthy books. Either I don't get them or my mind refuses to accept them as good works of art. I did not like this book much, though the last few chapters almost drew me back in. Oh well...

I would rank this a 3.5 if I could, but honestly... it was good but not great.
