Looking forward to this discussion! I read it earlier this year... but there is a lot to chew on!

[Eric]

Did not finish, only made it one hour in

[Cheryl]

Tbh, I have low expectations, having dnf'd two of the author's other works. But I'll try!

[Hank, Hankenstein's Modster]

I enjoyed the beginning.....

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

it’s an interesting book.

[Stephen]

I liked it quite a bit.

[Sabrina]

Started a few days ago, slow going, I do not really feel it, although I do find it interesting...

[DivaDiane]

I started a couple of days ago and am not far in, but I like the style and it seems cool so far.

[Allison]

I'm enjoying it. I think some of the elements are a little self-serving but the concepts and progression I'm finding surprisingly chill.

[Bonnie]

My GR friends & following run the gamut from "Ugh, DNF" to Four Stars w/ very positive reviews. Interested to find out where I'll put myself on that scale :-)

Read the first two chapters, I like the setup. Seems like solid SF so far....
Edge of Dark.
Grass.
Seveneves.
Survival.
The Uplift War.
Yay!

And that meant every life form was legally the company’s property

Whaaa?!

[DivaDiane]

Yeah, Whaaa?!? It goes from there.

[Allison]

spoilers!! lol

Just joined your group this week and already very pleased with the BOTM! As of chapter 2 I can tell I’ll enjoy the varied characters, pacing, and setting. Just have to finish while it’s still November!

[Allison]

welcome! so glad you've started with something to your tastes :)
