Hull Zero Three Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This is only the second Bear book I have read, but I much preferred Darwin's Radio to this one. Far too many questions left unanswered, Hull Zero Three left me with a sense of the story not being finished, ripe for a sequel. But if he rounds out the story (and characters) with another book I do have sufficient interest to continue. "

" This was a little different from his usual. Which is of course a good thing. Not many authors have the ability to change their writing style. He has evolved into one of the best authors and this book clearly shows why he is one of the few on top of the science fiction game. Somehow I feel he wrote this book with the same mindset as his Halo series. If this was to be converted into a game, I would play that game! "

" Not one of Bear's better efforts. Predictable and annoying, plus a bad retrofit of Algis Budrys's "Rogue Moon." "

" Not the most typical sci-fi I've ever encountered and I definitely must commend the author for creating a world unlike anything else, yet the prose often gets in the way of itself--too self-conscious by half--and the ending is strangely typical and boring. The allegory is loud and clear; I only wish the creativity was as boisterous. "

" Couldn't figure out where the charcters were on the ship most of the time. Thought the concept was terrific, just wish I hadn't been so lost! "

" Um, it's the STARLOST with like BIOTECH! "

" The first half of this book (action in Hull One) is a fast paced blitz - Id give it five stars. After that the story gets bogged down a bit in explanations - still worth reading & I did enjoy it. Stayed up late to read and finished in 3 nights. "

" I liked this book. The writer did a great job of describing what the characters were experiencing even though they had no common frame of reference. It was beautifully written. The idea of the story was fascinating and one that I hadn't run across before in my reading. "

" It seemed like a lot of effort for a basic message and for questions that are not yet answerable. Bear's descriptions quickly became repetitive and predictable. Yes, folks were cold, hungry and in danger. The ending tried to neatly wrap up the entire experience. Not worth the ride. "

" Not the book I expected, but not bad. A very bleak view of an early (mostly) human diaspora to the stars, with only the bright core of human conscience keeping the cast from being subsumed in the awful red-tooth-and-claw proceedings. "

" meh... I liked the narrator (audiobook). the story was a bit complicated and didn't really feel like the conclusion was compelling. "

" I really enjoyed this, I will look at more of his books in future. "

" Thought this might have been the bookifcation of a pulp magazine multipart novel that I loved many years ago, but alas this was pretty lame. "

" Another good book from Greg "

" Wanted to like this book more then I did, loved the start but never really went far enough to develop the plot. I also had a hard time connecting with the main character. "

" What a mess. I really have next to nothing to say about this book. Just a big, sci-fi muddle that made no sense to me. I considered dropping it after 30 pages, then decided to stick it out to see if it all came together later on. Unfortunately, no. Not recommended. "

" This book is very interesting. The depths humanity goes to survive. Great read! "

" Good enough to bother finishing, but that's about it. "

" Didn't get my attention, gave up when library due date arrived. "

" Fab read great story "

" Hopefully, it becomes more interesting as I get into the book. ..was disappointing "

" ran out of patience 50 pages in... will not finish "

" Pretty depressing and dark, and while that's fine in a lot of books, there wasn't anything new or interesting here. "

" This is my first Kindle novel. It was good reading, a nice generation starship novel with an interesting premise (can't tell without spoiling). I liked the character of Teacher, though I thought he was strained when his double (clone) showed up. A good Greg Bear novel. "

" Yes, a little derivative. But still pretty satisfying. Carried much more emotional resonance than I expected. "

" Wierd Book. Lots of thinking, but interesting story. "
