Interesting and smart take on long distance generation spanning space travel. Focuses a lot on communication and language, as well as societal development across generations. Its a strange book to be sure, but it is so well written I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definetly planning on reading the other two books in the trilogy.

I LOVE this series. And this was my favorite book so far. It had me laughing out loud. 
The writing and the plot are all top notch. 

Weird. Typical King though I guess 

The Running man demonstrates what can happen when the rich keeps being rich and the poor get poorer. Unchecked air pollution, terrible works conditions for very little pay, limited access to heath care. The book takes place in 2025, I read the book in 2025. It almost scary how close some of the political/corpo story lines seem real. All this being said, the boom is a fastpaced heart pounding adventure, it will make you happy, mad, sad, and pissed off all at the same time. Definetly worth a read, but be in the right headspace before you start. 

The writing is really good. I dont really like Ballard as a character. I might give some of thr other books in the series a read and see if she gets any more tolerable

I love the whole Galaxy's edge universe. I have read all the main line books and quite a few of the off shoots. This book is amazing, I laughed, I cheered, I cried a little. there is a lot of the Kill Them First type of action that is entertaining and pretty well written. But there are also some deeper thoughts and ideas that are just under the surface that will really make you think, and feel things. 

I read a lot of fantasy books. This is one of the best. It has everything, fully developed fantasy world, well written and interesting characters. Sanderson is one of the best fantasy writers of our generation. I finished this book and right away started the second book in the series. There are characters to love and characters to hate. And some that will make you wonder if you should love or hate them. Or hate that you love them. I feel like the book also does a really good job at low key talking about issues of modesty and societal norms, and how those are just constructs that have been created by people. Same goes for talking about class and judging people based on exterior factors. Just a really really great book. could not put it down. 

A decent into to creating and using a digital zettelkasten. 
If you are interested in this note taking method its worth a quick read.
