A little outdated, but still full of valuable information. Helped a lot with grammar. A nice supplement to what I've been learning in Duolingo.

Some of my dislike of this may be due to the audiobook; it probably reads better visually. However, it was pretty disappointing. There were weird interludes that were not distinguished from the main storyline in the audio, so it was often hard to tell what was going on. Nothing was ever really explained. I guess the mom was magic and could convince people to do things, but why? What was the point of this whole entire story?

Just as good as the early ones! I really liked the mystery here and I can't believe Brian Kelly is back. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Describing the plot, this could easily have been action-centered, bland Saturday-night-Syfy-movie fare. Instead, it was a fucking bop.

I loved that the main character was an old gay man, because it secured that the plot wouldn't be sex-driven. I loved that it was international, because you get to experience Mumbai and France and Germany and all are described with care. I loved that his crew was built up by long association, so there was no dick measuring contest; everyone just did their jobs. And I loved that all of the characters felt fleshed out and real.

Just a messy slop of overdone plots and one-dimensional characters.

Legit only finished this because the audiobook narrator had a nice accent.

Just like Oryx and Crake, this didn't get interesting until 80% in and I mostly struggled through the whole book. I'm exhausted by all of the violence, and the fact that every female character had sexual trauma. All I really want is to know more about MaddAddam, and this book introduced very little new information.
