I just recently read the first Expanse (Leviathan Awakens) and am reading Hyperion. Depends on what you are in a mood for. Expanse is more action-packed and easier to follow. Hyperion is higher up there, takes time to digest.
Not as high as reading Annihilation
Thanks for a detailed response. Just started reading the Fall of Hyperion
Thanks for the warning
Ok, I might give it a try.
Does the next book at least explain what happened to the Templar?
Saw it a few years ago and it gave me strong Hitchcock vibes. Agree that watching Sheen in a serious movie was a little weird, but the movie was decent
I hate Ad Astra so much. I was so hyped for it and then almost left the theater when we were watching it.
Gravity is not too terrible. Rewatched it recently. It’s a fun watch the first time but it’s too shallow for subsequent views.
Thank you so much for the detailed reply!
Is this a typical Scalzi book? Is it worth checking out any of his other works? It seems that he writes a lot and I am afraid that quantity takes priority over quality.
Yeah, Futurama is awesome, although feels a bit overwhelming sometimes
Ok, I see what you mean. Indeed, there is optimism in their ideas.
I read the Ender’s Game (and watched the movie after that) recently. It was pretty brutal at times, but I liked it.
Does it deserve it? I haven’t watched it and tbh kind of afraid to touch
I remember watching it back in the days. Some of the “parts” were a bit too weird (especially the animation) for my taste, but yeah, I enjoyed it overall.
Read a bit of both, but I found their hard sci-fi writing a little “cold”
Huh, surprised you mention Philip K. Dick. I read a lot of his short stories and found them anything but comfy. Rather, depressing and gloomy.
As for the Expanse, I just read the Leviathan Wakes, and yeah, I really enjoyed the vibe
Thanks for the recommendation, haven’t read it!
Still on my to-watch list
I loved the book. Tried enjoying the movie three times, I think, then finally realized that the book is way better.
I had the exact same impression. Excellent ideas but need more fleshing out
