I don't normally read science fiction, I can't count on one hand all of the book I have read in this genre. But with all the hype and the TV show, I thought I would give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It kept my attention throughout and wasn't too difficult to follow. I will definitely be recommending this to my patrons who are science fiction readers. Thank you, Net Galley, the publisher and the author for an advanced copy of this audiobook.

This is the best type of science fiction, one that puts science front and center and unabashedly celebrates everything about it. Every point brought up is eventually explained. What a tremendous way to start the trilogy.

The narrator was very good. I would recommend this audiobook to all public libraries. Patrons will have renewed interested in this title due to the Netflix series.

While I did not find the audiobook narrator enthralling necessarily, the content of the book more than makes up for it. Part of this could be attributed to the translation of the work, or the tone of the book being rather flat. However, this title will likely experience a rise in popularity with the upcoming Netflix series, and having it on the shelf and accessible via audio will be important for libraries.

This was an interesting story, and quite complex. Although the pace was slower than I usually like, the author kept me in suspense and I wanted to keep going. The premise is interesting and very creepy.

You could tell the book was a translation but I liked the way it came across in English, the writing was poetic and evocative and enhanced the eerie mood.

This new version of the audio by Rosalind Chao is very well done; her pronunciation is brilliant and her diction is exceptional.
