Saturn: A Novel of the Ringed Planet Audiobook

" This book was ok but not great. Lots of different shifts in terms of the power struggles that go on in the book. There are also lots of changes of perspective so you're never really sure what the whole purpose is -- until the end. "

" This novel had a number of interesting elements that, in the end, just did not click. The social construct felt a bit old hat. The science, however, was interesting and, at points, provacative. The plot concluded far too quickly and predictably. During the read, I was only uncertain as to the disposition of one character - and not one I cared for. Overall, this one falls a bit short. Certainly not as well done as Bova's Mars and Return to Mars. "

" I haven't read a scifi in a long time. I enjoyed exercising my imagination again. Humanity doesn't change much, even though we try. I'll have to read another Ben Bova book soon. "

" Ben Bova is one of the best scifi writers and this book is excellent reading "

" Holly joins the first manned expedition to Saturn because she wants a fresh start and is attacked to one of the leaders. The conflict between the the New Morality and science continues as the fundamentalist movement seeks control over mankind. "

" Bad book about bad people. Do not waist your time! "

" Leave it to Ben Bova to take a really great story line and make it weak, predictable and boring. This book was so awful that I sold it, and felt bad about having wasted my time reading it. "

" Overall it was OK, a light read but nothing that stood out "

" Good sci fi, interesting politicing. Nothing truly exceptional, but it's a very solid, above average read. "

" A colony in place around Saturn, as a social experiment "

" Yet another great Grand Tour book - I love reading these, they just fly for me! Saturn and Titan should be read close together since they're basically one continuing story. "

" Finished "Saturn" by Ben Bova. This didn't even get interesting until most of the way through book 1. After that, the author liked to show his hand a lot, so it was really only alright. "

" Entertaining book, but with characters that are one dimensional and at times cartoonish. Makes good airplane or easy beach reading. "

" Pretty good - took me a long time to read it because I kept setting it aside for other books. I don't read as much sci-fi as I used to. While this was a sci-fi book, it also turned suspenseful as it got towards the end. Interesting concept on the planet of Saturn and its rings. "

" Follows my favorite formula. People on a spaceship creating an "ideal" environment. "

" Ben Bova is a writer who is able to take you on a visionary journey, weave in a story and leave you looking at the stars. Having read one of his grand tour books you will want to read the rest... "

" A book about nothing. "

" Crap. Plain and simply put. "

" Not a bad book, the characters seemed a bit off from his usual well rounded characters. Not a waste of time to read, but not anything special. "

" The science is good. The characters are cartoons. The soap opera drama is so bad it's hilarious. Yeah this book was actually kinda fun believe it or not. "

" Mike and I both completely forgot that we had read this until we found it on our shelf. That should tell you about how much we liked it. I remember that the idea of the habitat was cool, but not a ton happens plot-wise. Read Jupiter. It's the best one. "

" Soap Opera along the lines of trashy romance novels. Interesting end though with the discovery at Saturn's rings. "
