It was nice to step back I to this world for a bit, albeit briefly.

I love the way the story switches back and forth, and how it gives me one sneak peak of what I thought I wanted until I had it, both narratives side by side.

Very interesting read, although I am glad it ended at around 60%. I learnt a lot but any more would have felt very repetitive.

A good story, even if mysteries are not my typical choice.

Thought provoking at times, at others just cosy and aware.

A great short story.

A pretty typical John Green book. I am a sucker for them.

A lovely story I could never wait to get back to.

Found it hard to put down and kept being drawn back in.

An excellent story about practicalities and ethics of cloning and differing societal structures (and sometimes their demise). Also some very good insights into the Ship of Theseus problem on a practical level.

A good read. I am looking forward to the next installment.

As entertainingly informative as the first.

It is an interesting story I am glad I finally read (heard). But having gone in being aware of the twist, having been spoiled by movie goers, I felt the ‘twist' was largely lackluster.

Very interesting read about the ways that other animals can sense significantly more than humanity.

Excellent gripping story of family power and honour.

Very glad I read this, a much more in depth learning about the race and prejudice than I have delved into before. I look forward to being and striving to be more informed on these issues.

I personally preferred the first book in the series ([b:A Psalm for the Wild-Built 40864002 A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot, #1) Becky Chambers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1600789291l/40864002.SY75.jpg 63655961]), but I still found myself practically incapable of putting this book down.It is so in keeping with [a:Becky Chambers 17650479 Becky Chambers https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]' style of cosy Sci-Fi throughout the Wayfarers Series which I was also hooked on and am quietly disappointed I only have one novella left to read ([b:A Good Heretic 57148248 A Good Heretic (Wayfarers, #0.5) Becky Chambers https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1619786634l/57148248.SY75.jpg 89442522]).

A lovely short story about how a monk and a robot cross paths and discuss the deep questions of life the universe and everything. I look forward to picking up the next book in the series and am ashamed to say I was skeptical of this book following my enjoyment of the wayfarers series. Just as comfortable a book as I could have hoped for.

Having started the kindle book and struggling to find momentum, I discovered that the narration of the audio book was by Ray Porter. At which point I started the audio book and really enjoyed it.

I know a little apollo history and therefore caught some of the names of real people/things, but as much as more prior knowledge would probably be more enjoyable, it is by know means required to enjoy the story.

This is a particularly entertaining collection of weaving and meandering scientific explorations about the universe and humanity's (and the individual human's) place within it.

The version of the audio book I had was, at worst, terrible... at best, inconsistent... audio quality. But the story was very good and generally engaging.

Very happy I finally got round to reading Terry Pratchett and look forward to making progress through the rest of the Discworld series.

I feel this story and character is better used in more elaborate story telling (ultimately what made me interested in this book). I did really enjoy the poetic prose and key plot points, although there seemed to be a lot of fluff I just lost interest in occasionally.

An amazing comfortable story about alien bakers and demons trading souls for musical prowess. Very weird crossover event but I truly loved the characters, their interactions and thought processes.

I loved this story, the fact it is written long after the events leads to nice foreboding for the series.

A story I am fairly familiar with but had never read/heard the original. Very enjoyable story and some nice victorian science-fiction content.

Really a very good story, I understandably wish I had read the original rather than listened to the adaptation. But it was very well done.

I just didn't really get into it, but I have read too few books to let myself DNF.
