Even for Palaniuk it was dark

Revisado: 04-28-24

I just wasn’t really prepared for the visceral nature of the piece. It was too much for me.

Thorough and fantastic

Revisado: 04-25-24

The author walked through a variety of examples and showcased success and peril growing to a significant size. I loved the journey and in-depth analysis.

100% Atwood but early

Revisado: 04-23-24

Atwood remarks in the foreword that she hadn’t published this early work when it was written and decided to later. I adore Atwood but this one never really went anywhere. It was a slice of life but not really equal to her other work.

Scott and Luke deliver again

Revisado: 05-05-23

Another great Sci-fi comedy from Scott “Oscar” Meyer expertly delivered by Luke Daniels. Sequel?

Not a stand alone book

Revisado: 08-13-21

I selected this book without knowing that it was part of a trilogy. However, the story just stops and never really went anywhere. Thinking planned series, each Harry Potter book can pretty much stand on its own, this one cannot. So disappointed, I didn’t even bother returning the title because I wanted to make sure this review stayed up. Either buy all three or none at all.

A little thin

Revisado: 01-30-21

Details were given but it was a little thin in places. Commentary comes from a place that’s a little dated too. Opening chapters included guidelines for a new global space capital in Houston, including all countries “even China.” Yes, that’s what global means.

Disappointing as a sequel, disappointing as a stand alone

Revisado: 01-16-21

I know that sequels are often panned by super fans who have created the original to be greater than it was and something no follow-up could ever equal.

That’s not what this is.

This book was a victim of being poorly constructed and terribly obvious. Everything the characters would need were available and if not first laid out elsewhere, they were magically available. Somehow, a contest that left gamers at square one for several years is solved in 13 hours. All the destruction and mayhem is solved at the end in a nice, tidy, bow.

I finished it mostly because the narrator, Wil Wheaton, is awesome and did a great job with this young adult, fanfic, bastardization of a great work.

Terrible, cursory, garbage.

Revisado: 08-11-16

I've read good business books and bad business books. This one is a bad book. Devoid of fact or corroboration, this brash and forgettable book seems to believe that simply by measuring the word "success" it will express the author's method for becoming successful. It does not. It's like a very loud and stupid person explaining how to work a toaster to you, and as successful as they might be, you're better to just walk away than reduce your intelligence by this shouting idiot.

Wandering correspondent

Great account of a former correspondent wandering greater China with eyes wide open. This is my second book by the same author.

Expat observations

Revisado: 01-30-15

A good reflection from an experienced expat. His reflections keep your eyes open to the essence of being Chinese and being American.
