It managed to keep me listening all the way through (Audiobook), but the content wasn't really that exciting.
The author is quite clearly extremely pro-Google, and as such the company is apparently without any flaws. This extreme fanboyism clouds the authors judgement in several examples, and the number of arguments against his views is kept at a minimum, and only pro-views from other people/authors are mentioned.

I kind of liked it. Good flow to it, simple characters, and a good hearted story.
This is not a masterpiece by far, but if you just go into it expecting a short and simple story about a young boys adventure on his own, then you'll be satisfied. If you are a fan of Mark Twain, chances are that you'll smile quite a few times reading this book. Likely also a good book for readers around the age of 10-12.

What a book! Highly recommended if you like any of the following: Science, Mars, NASA, Space, humans, rocks, dust storms, space ninjas, or potatoes!
Kept me hooked from the start, and that despite seeing the movie (Which does follow the book quite closely). Jumps straight into my list of favorite books, because it was just that good! I even turned emotional a few times, which is quite rare for me when reading books, so it mus …Read More

Quite good. Much better than book 5 in my opinion. It managed to keep me interested practically all the way through, and apart from being told 500 times that all the women have started wearing low cut dresses, it had a good plot that moved the story forward.

Adam Savage is always great, and he doesn't let us down in this one either.
He skates over a few science topics that may push humanity further, such as AI, machine learning, space travel, inventing stuff, with several interviews to go. Nothing deep, but quite entertaining, and it makes you think a little bit here and there, with the general theme being creativity.
Recommended if you need a short read.

Destiny Reckoning is the last book in the Unexpected Destiny science fiction space opera trilogy, written by Trevor Ames Gregg. It follows directly after the sequel, where Kyren and his friends are trying to find out where the giant alien space monster Kirugi is coming from, why it is coming, and how to stop it.
The writing style and the narration was exactly the same as with the previous book, thus my general comments and cr …Read More

The Fall of Man is a science fiction story written by Mitchell White, about a post-apocalyptic future where Uberbots have brought humanity to its knees. We follow Thomas, a robot programmer, in his quest to survive in this new world.
I didn’t particularly enjoy this one. The story was okay, not anything too complex, but it did the job. The writing as such was acceptable, but the dialogs were quite simplistic, often juvenile, …Read More

A well written classic, that in these times are more important than ever, now that nationalism is sweeping the planet as a plague again.
I very much enjoyed the first part as it set up everything, and you got a good insight into how paranoid a person can become due to political arrogance. The second part was also good, but not as much as the second part. It didn't evolve much from the on the first part, but merely cemented th …Read More

Certainly not Asimov's deepest piece of work, but I couldn't help smiling when I read the last sentence, and that earned it a fourth star. A sweet and short piece about how the world constantly changes, and sometimes not for the better.
Yes, before you ask, I did enjoy most of my time at school when I was a kid. :)
