| 1. |  | Snow Crash (Bantam Spectra Book)
from Spectra
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
I am on ebook page 293 of 1029 and I am completely bored by this book. In comparision Dune Book 2 is only about 387 pages and it was a lot of fun by the time I was on page 300.
Sentenses are complicated. There are too many made up words that in the end don't mean much. Mix those together and... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Eos
Customer Review:
It took me a couple tries to get into this book... multi inch think books can be a bit daunting. However, once I was through the first section I quickly found myself infatuated. The interweaving of multiple different story lines into one tale makes for an interesting read. | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Pretty good overall, but very difficult to follow. Contains many interesting futuristic concepts, though. I'll not be reading it again. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Spook Country
from Berkley
Price: $9.99
Customer Review:
Gibson doesn't need any advertisement or introduction from me. I had been fairly disappointed by Pattern Recognition and picked up Spook Country with some trepidation. As usual, Gibson is a dab hand at near-future sci fi and I really enjoy the worlds that he creates and the themes that he develops.... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

from Ace
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
The first few chapters, I loved. I liked the characters. I was even okay with the second person viewpoint, while they were actually themselves. The story got very difficult to follow once they entered the virtual world, because Stross made it almost impossible to follow who was who and where they... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Ace Hardcover
Price: $16.35
Customer Review:
This is the third Alistair Reynolds book I've read (other two are Revelation Space and Century Rain). I could not put this one down. Although I truly enjoyed Revelation Space, I found that book harder to get into: the first few chapters were a slog. But I jumped right into The Prefect, and it was... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Tor Books
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
In Children of the Mind, Orson Scott Card wraps up the Ender's Gamer series. That's what this book is basically for. Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead can stand on their own but Xenocide (the third book) and Children are for those who enjoyed the first two books and want to see the story to the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Brilliance Audio Unabridged Lib Ed
Price: $97.25
Customer Review:
I have read every single one of Koontz' novels and still love this one the best. To date, I've read Watchers at least a dozen times, and although I know exactly what will happen, still cry at the heart-rending parts and laugh at the comedic relief woven throughout. Koontz is my favorite author and I... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
