Really wanted to love this but didn't for some reason. I got maybe 2/3 through and gave up.
I got almost half through and it just wasn't grabbing me so I gave up. I'll be watching the movie.
Received the ebook yesterday and finished it today. I stormed through the first six chapters before getting sleepy and going to bed. Finished the rest the next morning/afternoon. It kept me interested and was the fastest I have finished a book in some time.
I wavered between a 4 and a 5 star rating. It uses the time travel theme but only to really look deeper into the human condition and thoughts on god and religion, individuality, gay rights, and more... All wrapped up in a look into the future.
I enjoyed the book, but I'm not sure I would be interested in a sequel. I will be recommending this one to my friends though.
Pretty good book. Not as good as Ready Player One, but still pretty good. I tore through it pretty fast. Probably a 7 out of 10
Like bobiverse, but without the humor or enjoyment. Bit of a slog and didn't actually go anywhere
I received this book for free from Penguin's First to Read program. The plot sounded interesting and the book was pretty good for the first few chapters but then slowed to a snail's pace. I wanted to put it down then but kept going. I got through a little over half then gave up. It was just too slow and boring.
Got about halfway through and gave up. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great and wasn't holding my interest
I gave up on it. I really wanted to like this but it just didn't pull me in. Felt like a medieval soap opera. I got maybe halfway? through.
Great book. I think I liked Prince of Thorns a bit more, but still, this was great. I couldn't get through Game of Thrones (too much like a medieval soap opera), but the Thorn series was MUCH better, IMO.
Pretty good book. Kept me interested. Sort of flattened out at the end like the author decided it was time to wrap things up.
Love all of Lowell's works but this just didn't do it for me. I definitely recommend the other trader tales, but skip this.
