Enjoyable if you're already a fan of the genre. Doesn't do much to break new ground, but the existing ground it covers is covered well.

Good but not great. The first half is stronger than the second, and I was more gripped by the ideas than the execution. Worth reading once.

Beautiful, moving, and occasionally genuinely funny. The writing is a step above the genre average in ways that are hard to articulate but impossible to miss.

A solid, enjoyable read that doesn't overstay its welcome. Won't change your life but will pass a long flight very pleasantly. Exactly what it says on the tin.

Perfect. I said what I said. Every choice the author makes is the right one. Every page earns its place. I'll reread this annually.

I've been evangelical about this book to an embarrassing degree. My friends are tired of hearing about it. I don't care. Read it.
