I liked it because the main characters were lesbian, but the politics were boring. It did seem like a "first book".

I love seeing how Ryland solves problems with science! And even though he's alone in space, we get to see how things on Earth are through his memories slowly coming back to him.

It's fun to watch Komi get better - slowly - at communicating.

It's a little slow at the beginning, but then a lot of stuff happens very quickly. I liked it.

Carmen's perspective was more boring than Dani's, and that was the entire book. This book had more action than the first, but the villain was stupid. It dragged on for too long at the beginning, her decision to save her girlfriend or stay with her family. Obviously save your girlfriend! Which would make for a better book!? I still liked the book, but wouldn't recommend it.

This book is mostly how people started non-profit organizations, which is lovely, but I would prefer if it was more achievable acts of kindness I could do too. The design/layout of the pages is neat. I like how they are all unique.

This book is extremely dark. I picked it up because of the pretty cover and Japanese setting, but it's mostly depressing. I liked the Zen elements though, since I'm interested in meditation. I skipped the chapters of Ruth's perspective a few times, they weren't as interesting as Nao's.

I loved all of the action and surprises. I love how its a whole bunch of books just bundled together to make a great book which is my new favorite book.

It was really exciting in the beginning, but it dragged a little after that. The fight scenes were cool, very fast paced.

This book had interesting and encouraging things to say about meditation. Only thing was: it was a "28 day program," which just made me feel bad about not completing the weeks. Sharon assigned 20 minute sessions to start, which is longer than I'd meditated before. It was hard to keep it consistent. I preferred Dan Harris's books, where he encourages people to start with 5 or 10 minutes.
