Steal across the Sky Audiobook

" I think it's supposed to be deep, but truthfully, it isn't. It's kind of boring. "

" This did grab me and pull me through. Mostly only 3 stars instead of 4 because I didn't think the resolution was as good as the set-up. "

" Interesting idea, reads well, but ultimately doesn't quite address any of the questions raised in a satisfying way. The author even feels the need to spell out the message directly at the end of the book. "

" A strong start, but it wound down a little bit as it went along. It got a little muddled for me, less and less convincing, as it went along. I found myself less invested in the problems than I wanted to be. "

" interesting read, gave me a lot to think about. more of a fantasy about truth and lies than a sci fi book. I would have like to have either seen the world and sci fi nature of the book expanded a bit or seen it tightened into a novella. I'd like to pick up more books from the author as I found this one very intriguing if a bit oddly paced. "

" Great book! Great characterization, great read. 'nough said. "

" This was a very smart and interesting sci-fi novel. It included spiritual elements that I was not expecting. Ultimately, a fun and short read. "

" This is a really fascinating philosophical "what if?" that reminded me a lot of The Sparrow. Character-driven and not afraid to ask tough questions, the exploration of alien planets is the least interesting part of this truly terrific tale. "

" Nancy Kress is a great writer and I think that this could've been stronger, but I am not sure how. And sadly the cover is (imho) dreadful. "

" Interesting premise and pretty well-written. I liked the exploration of faith/belief, but I wish I had been able to care more about the characters. "

" If you like science fiction, I highly recommend this book. I give it 3 stars compared to all the books I've read (it's not as emotionally-involving or well-written as many non-SF novels I love), but I'd give it 4.5 stars in the science fiction genre. "

" It's a cute premise. But it feels a bit like Heinlein's "Beyond This Horizon" with aliens. "

" Good book. Doesn't go where you might think it would, and then doesn't go where you think it should. Or something. I liked it a lot, because I like a little moral dilemma in my sci-fi. And it kept me wondering until the end, when I thought it was a bit weak. But, I won't spoil it. "

" I mostly liked the book, but I thought the ending was weak. I wrote a short review. "

" This book had great ideas and concepts but it was not crafted as well as it could have been. It seemed to be flat and boring until some nugget of intrigue grabbed your attention, but then it went back to something slightly uninteresting. "

" This was very creative and thought provoking. One of the best SF books I've read in quite awhile. "

" A great book. Well written crisp story that answered enough of the questions and actually took more than a couple paragraphs to end the story right. As an added plus there were more happy endings in the story than usual but without it seeming sappy. "

" The first part was, I thought, interesting and clever, but the energy drops off after the big reveal (why the Atoners set us on this mission), and I care less and less about the characters. I wanted to love it.... "

" I am a nancy Kress fan - but this book disappointed me somewhat. A neat basic premise, but the presentation didn't quite make the interesting read that was there "

" Really enjoyed this and will be seeking more of Kress' work. Clever and captivating. "

" Read this after I read "Beggers in Spain" because I was loving all things Nancy Kress. And although I really enjoyed it, I didn't LOVE it like I did the other. Still a good read tho and one I would suggest. "
