I will start by saying I am not a huge SF fan, I read it sometimes, usually I like it, but I don't go out of my way to pick up a SF book. I listened to this one because I wanted something in the background while doodling and since I kept seeing the book around and was one of the first to pop up when looking up audiobooks, I said why not.
I read the other reviews on this book and I see that most readers really love it. I am kind of in between, I can't say I loved it, but it wasn't terrible either. For one, I liked reading a book from where I knew some quotes without knowing where they are from, and I must agree there are some great one-liners in the book, but I only laughed once.
Somehow the storytelling read more like a documentary to me and some of the characters seemed to be forgotten sometimes. I keep thinking I might have missed something, but looking up what that might be, I can find nothing. I think I simply should have read this book when I was a pre-teen. That being said, still a nice read.
