Seveneves

I have a whole family of feelings about this book. I guess overall my rating of a 4 suggests mostly satisfaction. My 5th form English teacher Mrs Brown used to wear a tee shirt that read “I may not be perfect but parts of me are excellent”. This book is a bit like that, although Mrs Brown was a 5 stars. Lots of great ideas but missing the finesse to make them all sing together, and yet mostly satisfying but not completely. I think the thing the author does best is imagine a 5,000 year future that feels real and he tells a story that makes it mostly come alive. Thanks for the recommendation Jonah.
