I was a big fan of The Martian, and this feels very much of a piece. One of those sci-fi novels that makes you feel smarter while you read it. And yes, I’ll totally watch the (inevitable) movie.
Reading this, I can’t help but hear the actors’ voices from the TV series. They really did a marvelous job capturing the spirit of this book.
I’m pretty sure this novel about the world’s greatest assassin (and lover) is supposed to be a parody of the genre, but I found it tedious and pretentious. Did not finish.
I thought this would be right up my alley, but it never clicked for me. Did not finish.
A delightful novella about a priest and a robot traveling through a post-apocalyptic society.
I enjoyed this well enough when I was reading, but it didn’t leave much of an impression.
