Containment Audiobook

" You will probably not like this unless you are a nerd. There is a lot of techinical talk in here. "

" A little bit predictable and overdetailed on technical aspects. You can definetely feel his CS background. Neverthless a very interesting and fun book to read! "

" Best sci-fi I've read in a while. Very realistically described, full of technical details. Way too short. I mean the whole scene practically begs for the continuation of the story. The whole reason behind the deception (it is still unclear to me) and other things in the book require a sequel as I hope is under way. "

" I never could get past the premise of a human colony on Venus. If you're going to write something so impossible, you have to just do it and not try to explain it. Cantrell constantly slows the story down by giving long technological explanations. Unfortunately there's no help for the awkward plotting and unbelievability of this story. I gave it two stars instead of one because I didn't see the plot twist coming. Sadly, too little, too late. "

" i gave this book 4 stars because it really was a great read and i only paid 99cents for it on kindle. its no enders game but it definitely is as much fun to read as most of Asimovs stuff. i'll read a couple more of his books when ii need light summer sifi. "

" Containment occasionally gets bogged down in over-describing processes, technology, etc. But it's a pretty good hard-science page-turner. "

" The science was great but the story was just ok. "

" interesting and once into the book it begins to become familiar. "

" Nice, fairly short SF. Kind of reminded me of Moon "

" I like it a lot! Don't know what I can say that won't give away that aha moment. "

" This is the best science fiction book I've read in many years. "

" Would have been a decent book if the author didn't feel the need to go into great detail about how every single piece of machinery worked. god. "

" The book seems to start slow, a bit like reading science theory at times, but interesting, and then it changes. The pace picks up as the story deepens, and the ending was as wonderful as anything I've read in years. It is a story I won't forget, and an author I'll follow. "

" Well worth the read. Smart book will keep you thinking through the twists and turns. The ending was a bit abrupt or this might have been 5-stars. "

" This was a good SF book wrapped around a good mystery story. I can't say too much without spoilers but I can say that I was very surprised at the way things unfolded. "

" Da F***. This book really surprised me. Several times. "

" Interesting technical ideas. Wish there was a bit more development regarding character relationships.. And it ended a bit abruptly for me. "

" Previous reviews pretty much say it all - too much technical detail, lack of character and relationship development, but an interesting story with a good twist. "

" A lot of reviews say this book is too technical but I disagree. I felt like the technical aspects really improved the book. The main character is suppose to be a genius, and the paragraphs with scientific thought really made me feel like he was. "

" Totally decent sci-fi, but you have to get more than half way through before the story actually kicks in. Would have been much better as a short story. "

" Very intriguing how elaborate the main character's imaginary Venus lifestyle is portrayed. "

" This book didn't get interesting until half way through. I started to abandon it many times but continued on. Way more explanations in the beginning than I cared about, and I still think it could have done without. I liked the surprising ending though, although there were questions remaining. "

" This is written by a software nerd, for people who would appreciate his attention to detail and his highly likely view of our technological future.I finished this in less than a day on vacation. I really don't need much more out of a book than that. It was entertaining and novel. "

" Very intriguing how elaborate the main character's imaginary Venus lifestyle is portrayed. "

" Pretty good. I wanted to know more about what happened at the end though- as soon as everything came together, the story was over. "

" An enthralling book with some great twists and characters. Cantrell does a really great job of creating the isolated and enclosed atmosphere of V1, as well as the increasing sense of menace as the story is slowly revealed. "

" An okay read with a great, unexpected twist two thirds of the way through. With a few pages to go, I was wondering how it was going to end; it sort of employed a mild "and they lived happily ever after" device. "

" excellent environmental sci fi about what could happen in a future time of polluted Earth, its efforts to survive via a Venus space base populated initially by scientists and then thir children the first generation born off world, surprising revelations discovered. "

" I found it entertaining, but also predictable. Perhaps too, a bit too much technobabble. Also, might have benefited from cutting some extraneous words here and there. "

" Very well written hard science fiction novel. My favorite kind of book! "

" I like it, but the author tries to a bit too science-sy at times, and skips over lots of impossibilities at others. "

" This book was good, the concepts were fun, and I liked the ending. There was one inconsistency with the way light behaves when moving through clouds or heavy atmosphere, but if you aren't a photographer (or don't know how it would behave) then it's cool. "

" Nice, fairly short SF. Kind of reminded me of Moon "

" Surprisingly good read. Excellent plot development, strong characters and believable science. Recommended for a fun scifi read. "

" I like sci-fi so I enjoyed the book. I gave it 2 stars because I felt the author spent too much time on describing technology instead of the story line. The story was great, but I was bored with the technical descriptions. "
