LM Bujold’s storytelling is second to none, regardless of the setting or plot. “Penric’s Fox” is a wonderful listen! Grover Gardner does a superb job, too!

Starts off a little slow, but it hits a point where you can’t put it down. Like “The Martian”, Weir builds the science into the story, integrating it very well. It took me a while to really care about the protagonist, but Weir does a really good job of seeing things from her perspective. Dawson does an excellent job reading, and her voices and accents are great.

Started off kinda slow, creating the full tableau. As things picked up, I wasn’t sure I was going to stick with it - solely because of the plot devices. Not a fan of the genre that was invoked, but the excellent narrator and writing kept me. And then the denouement started and I was glad I hung in there!

Well written, fast-paced, and humorous. A little heavy on the "lucky guy at the right place at the right time" literary mechanism, but if you take that in stride, it's a fun read! Really good treatment of alien species and structures. I don't think I'd read anything that lays out contact with multiple aliens in quite the same way.

I've read this book at least five times, and just finished my third or fourth listen to the audio book.
That pretty much sums it up, I think!

Good starting point for searching for grants. Helps break through the fog of mystery surrounding the process. A little light on details, but it's a short book!

Of course, I'd date myself if I said that I remember the first time I played a Space Invaders game in a pool hall - before there were video arcades, or that my first computers (apart from the mainframe) were a Vic-20 (precursor to the Commodore 64) and an Apple II.
So the book was a fun romp through some nostalgia. But Mr. Cline did a fine job writing a fun adventure and describing a hesitant hero. Wil Wheaton breathed life into the reading (as he often does), and made this a very enjoyable read. Though I've listened to it three times now, I keep going back to it, and can't put it down!
