Interesting story, weak characters

I really liked the story, especially a few twists that it takes. But I thought that the main character was one-dimensional and not very interesting. Overall, this book is worth a listen if you like science and space exploration, especially SETI.

I really learned a lot about George HW Bush in this book. I was just a kid when he was president said it was interesting to learn all about him. what I wanted were more personal anecdotes or stories, since it was his son writing this book.
I decided to purchase this book after I read a comment on Michelle Obama's book's page that recommended it. Thank you whoever you are.

I thought it was going to be more of a humorous time traveling adventure, but it was more of a historical commentary on the monarchy system. The protagonist of the story tries to bring 19th century ideas to the 6th century.

I learned some things about WW2 that I didn't know before.
The reason I didn't give this book five stars is because there were several places where I could not hear or understand what people were saying.

I loved the story, although in audio only format it was hard to keep track of who's who. But the story was thrilling and interesting. 5 stars

It's a cute book. At first the main character is an annoying self-absorbed big city woman, but then she betters herself as she goes on a spiritual journey.

A good story, I wouldn't say a kid's story because it still has its bloody scenes. I like that I got more of the back story to Game of Thrones. The length is more reasonable for a newbie like me, who is just coming to the book series after watching the TV show.

I really liked the story. I just wish that this book was longer and that I got more of Marie Curie's story. I also like that it's written in first person.

I really liked this audiobook. It's more like listening to a program on NPR. There were a lot of parts that left it up to your imagination because they were out interviewing somebody on location so we don't get to see that, but I thought all in all it was very good. I would have liked to see the TV show made from this book.

Good narration but the story itself does not hold up. The idea behind the novel is clever, but for me, it didn't have enough horror nor drama to keep me interested.
