The Uplift War Audiobook

" David Brin does intelligent and engaging science fiction "

" The best of the first trilogy, although I either missed something that contributed to the events in the ending, or I'm supposed to chalk it up to the universe's biggest coincidence yet. "

" This entire series is horrible. I read it years ago hoping it would get better. I like the alien designs but that is about it. Horrible plot in this one. If you doubt me, I just have to say three words: chimpanzee lap dance. I did NOT need to picture that, David Brin. Bleh. "

" I enjoyed the Uplift Saga, but not enough to read a second time. "

" This book was still good, but is getting a little more hardcore s/f and less into the characters. "

" One of my favorite hard Sci-Fi novels of all time. "

" Last of the uplifts. "

" I loved this as a teenager. Who wouldn't love sentient spacefaring dolphins, chimps, and whales plus an evil bird race with a triumvarate of genders? I wonder if I'd still like it? "

" great book looking for the other two so i can finish this sega "

" Pretty disappointing ending to the trilogy. I sort of expected this book to resolve some of the questions in the first two books, but that didn't really happen. Maybe I need to read the next trilogy for those answers? "

" At first I was like 3 stars, and then I was like four stars! "

" best book of the original uplift series. very long, but worth the build. perfect blend of sci-fi, intricate plot, dialoge, and setting. "

" One of my all-time favorite sci-fi novels. Seriously. "

" This book is made most enjoyable by imagining that the Gubru resemble Sam the Eagle from the Muppet Show. "

" I enjoyed Uplift War far more this second time around, perhaps because I knew it, like Startide, was a small slice and not the entire story. "

" Out of all of the Uplift books this one is the best. Lots of interesting characters and some great ideas. Well worth the time to read. "

" I really wanted to like this book, especially after re-reading Startide Rising, but it simply doesn't hold a candle to its predecessor. "

" A sprawling epic (in the best sense) of earthling colonists (human and uplifted chimp) resisting an alien invasion with the assistance of friendly galactics. Still as enjoyable as when I first read it 20 years ago. "

" I actually did not know until now that this saga continues beyond the three books I have read. Yea! "

" More eighties-style sci-fi goodness. Tasty! And a surprisingly long read. Took me about a week to get through it, that's unusual but I liked it. "

" In my opinion the best of Brin's uplift books. "

" Terrific novel that stands alone; no need to have read any of the previous novels to understand the concepts put forth here. It does make me want to go back and read all the others, though. "

" I was happy to read that the Earth 'Clan' is pretty good at outsmarting aliens. Always does wonders for the ego. :-) "

" The book was entertaining but almost the least so (for me) in the Uplift series. I think it's because I found Brin's realization of uplifted chimps to be less interesting than uplifted dolphins. I recall only one scene (the scene in the "bar") that captured the flavor of Startide Rising. "

" My favorite Uplift book! Read this if you want to learn more about why our conquest of Iraq was doomed to fail. "
