The Sparrow
I had five sci-fi books in my "fun" reading stack for the holidays.
Three books were okay, but were mostly average. For instance some folks might have loved "Containment" but it didn't do a lot for me. It was good, but average good.
"The Sparrow", on the other hand, was one of the best sci-fi books I've read in years. And it was last on the list! Boy I'm glad I decided to go ahead and read it.
If you'd like the complete review, head on over to hn-books. Or you can click the Amazon link and read all the reviews over there.
This pattern I'm using -- going for books with lots of positive reviews, reading the negative reviews first, then picking the best singleton? It seems to be working out very well. I plan on doing it this way again over the summer when I get back into sci-fi again.
I tell you, it's going to be tough to go back to SEO internals after having so much fun. If you get a chance, check "The Sparrow" out.
