I really enjoyed my time listening to the stress simulator 3000. My favourite bit was how the entire book was written like the most aggravating parts of Jurassic Park where Lex is yelling at Timmy to DO SOMETHING and Timmy shouts back IM TRYING. I really did like the twist in the very last line though.
I tried Jurassic World too recently and it was pretty bad. It seems my favourite authors cannot strike gold twice. First Michael Scott or whatever his name is sets the sequel to Ender's Game 3000 years into the future on a planet with little portuguese pig people and then this guy goes and ruins Jurassic Park.
Special shoutout to Andy Weir also for writing the most boring alien story I have ever had the misfortune to listen to after penning the amazing Martian and Artemis.
Speaker for the dead was a weird book. Points for trying, maybe, in that the theme seems to be about striving for peaceful coexistence despite a violent history.
