This is a book that thinks it's half again better and more clever than it is. But it's more than good and clever enough to be a good read. I just don't think it's anywhere near as good as the reviews made it seem.

I read this when it was released before all the hoopla and came away underwhelmed. It felt like a "try hard" book in gamer lingo…whatever that means. That said, not exactly terrible either lol. Novels are mostly subjective anyway.

This made me laugh. I thought it was a decent read, but boy does she like you to know she has a liberal arts degree. Once I got past the first few chapters it was entertaining. For $2 it is worth the buy IMO.

I watched the TV series first and then read the book afterwards. I wasn't a big fan of the book and it didn't expand or improve on anything. I still love the TV series though.

I really loved the HBO show but a lot of people didn't for whatever reason. I thought the book wasn't very engaging and only read about 100 pages and gave up.

Solid book, but it's probably a bit overhyped.

This a rare time where I thought the TV show might've actually been better.

You can add the audiobook to your kindle ebook for $8 as an add on (versus $11.70 on Audible).

You can watch the 10 episode Station Eleven miniseries on HBO Max or pick up the 4K Blu-ray disc on Amazon for $22.

I definitely wrote that sentiment in the most tortured way possible. I may have been channeling something.

Funny thing is I liked Sea of Tranquility.

Man do I not understand the bashing of the TV series. I loved it so much. Excited to read the book, even if it sounds like it might be a little snooty.

Agreed. Good but overhyped.

It's more literary than science fiction, with an emphasis on character and storytelling. I remember this one better than her other novels.

You can get the book/audiobook for free. You've got to be willing to get a library card and find and download their e-reader or audiobook apps, usually Libby/Overdrive. It's hard to do all that when you can get the ebook immediately for two bucks!
