Jupiter: A Novel Audiobook

" Not bad. Interesting concept on alien life on Jupiter. Characters only so-so. "

" A great hard science fiction book. The aspects of the book focusing on exploration of Jupiter are brilliant. I did find the way he wrote relationships in this book a bit unbelievable, there are so many unpleasant people acting unpleasantly that it's kind of distracting, the characters seem at times stiff and unrealistic sometimes and the main character's inner conflict isn't as interesting as the exploration and even detracts (in my opinion) from the pace of the story. "

" Grant Archer graduates from college and is sent to Jupiter as a spy. He meets a gorilla who can speak and gets caught up in mystery. "

" Another good one by Mr Bova. Good adventure story of what we might find at Jupiter in the future "

" I found the writing dull, the characters juvenile, the story uninteresting. "

" Man's trip to the largest planet. part of the grand tour of the universe. "

" Typical story telling by Bova. Spot on science. "

" A very enjoyable book about the exploration of the Jovian Seas. Very fun to listen to. "

" The detail in Bova's planets are exceptional "

" A pretty fun read, but somewhat lacking in depth of characters and plot. Interesting journey into the atmosphere and ocean of Jupiter to find alien life. A fine time passer. "

" i thought the book was really well put together. ben bova really captures the way humans might colonize the solar system. i was also impressed by a number of his ideas such as using the perfluocarbon in the ship, the talking gorilla and the leviathans in the oceans. a great read for any scifi fan "

" One of the better Ben Bova novels. He seemed to pay more attention to character development in this one, not quite as wooden as most of his work. "

" It was a really good book. It was slow in the begining and took a while to pick up but finished with a terrific ending and a great message. Overall, extremely well written and thought out...just too much time spent setting up the plot. "

" Very good story, if you're interested in science fiction. "

" Nothing to write home about. "

" Excellent. Finished it in just two days! "

" It was an interesting story. The characters were 2 dimensional, but that is common in hard SF books. "

" Intertwined with a tail of greed and ambition, is the question of how do you communicate with an alien species. This is one of Ben Bova's better yarns "

" What can I say about Ben Bova. Only that he keeps it crip, clear and up to date after writing for over fifty year. This is wonderful!!!!!!! "

" Devoured this book after Shane picked it up from a "new book" display at the library. Must find more Ben Bova to read... "

" This is "the good stuff"! A great adventure in the clouds of Jupiter. Occasionally the science seemed a little wacky, and a few times the physical scale of things didn't feel right, but I can overlook that for such a grand and wild ride. "
