Great, but not overly complex science. Interesting characters you care about. Fun storylines that don't take themselves too seriously.

Great read.

The group is already super captivating.

DNF

Well, the fun vibes of the first third of the book are certainly far away now 😅

Did not expect the green

I'm hitting Pause on this at chapter 9.

It's Scalzi, the story is interesting and masterfully written.

Maybe it's because it's 2026, I don't exactly know, but my Science Fiction right now has to be less War and more Culture/Trek.

I might pick it up again someday, but not in the immediate future.

Said is NOT invisible when you are listening to an audiobook. Can this author use the word "said" one more time?

Hmm not great

First time I've gotten the "Skip the Line" prompt on Libby!

”I didn’t mind getting old when I was young either”

I think he just compared you to a nazi

“Have fun”

ive missed reading a good ol classic scifi

Fuck, I just realized this is the 1st book of a series, not one of the 3 standalones, noooooo, that means I gotta start putting them on hold.

Also, why are the chapters so long?

When I don't know what to read, I opt for a reread. As I remember, my favorite part is where the old people ride a space elevator, get a nice fatty breakfast, and then a nice new body. This is my favorite example of transferring a consciousness to a new body. There's plenty of funny lines throughout.

Very easy and enjoyable read thus far hoping for a bit more depth tho

Old Farts Club haha

Hope Leon dies soon

I’ve been looking for a sci-fi book to read. The last one I’ve read was Ender’s Game and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A friend recommended this book to me. The author’s writing style is very readable! And the story is pretty intriguing so far. Also has some humorous moments.

The author shouldn't have attempted to explain the skip drive. It cheapens some of the book. It isn't as good as the beginning, getting less focused, but still pretty good so far.

MUITO BOMM KKKKKKKKK

Pretty good still. I'm enjoying the humor and the campiness. I'm glad it isn't an action thriller and I hope it doesn't become one.

To be honest, so far I’ve found Scalzi’s dialogue and attempts at humor to be rather poor. Some cool concepts at work, though.

Ooh okay this is fun so far

This is going quick!

I suppose I should add this to Goodreads since I’ve been reading it for several days and just finished part 1.

Que livro divertido!

Intriguing space opera
