I have seen so many posts of people shitting on popular books so I need to hear some of your favourite ones.
For me I believe that the A Good Girls Guide To Murder series is amazing and deserves all the love in the world
It has a incredible plot with so many fun and well written characters that I found quite relatable, the entire series is just fantastic and is one of my all time favourite mystery series
The Expanse has ruined sci-fi for me, I can’t get that high again
I spent almost all of 2022 listening to the audio books. I miss the voice of Jeffery Mays in my long car travels, what a treat.
Same, man. I finished the series about a month ago and I’m not sure what to do with my life now
I wish I liked it. I couldn’t even finish the first book, which was a huge bummer, considering how much everyone seems to love it. I was prepared for it to be a new favorite, but it was just… lame
You are not alone. I thought the first book was awful. I made it through, but only because the other book I was reading at the time was worse. Between “vomit zombies”, horrible physics, juvenile humor once the protagonist gets a girl friend, and the entire plot based on how the crew always makes the right decision (everyone else being wrong and being convicted to help them), I was just happy to be done with it.
omg i actually love the expanse but i also feel like i’m decently versed in physics and that the expanse does it much better than a lot of the other sci-fi i’ve read. mind if i ask what about that you didn’t like?
Basically the plan to crash an asteroid into the sun was just plain dumb and everyone went along with it. The was nothing reality based about the physics of that one. And, plot-wise, the whole plan was completely unnecessary.
Oh sounds fun! Who’s the author?
James SA Corey which is a pen name for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The series was originally pitched as a custom DnD universe. Cool stuff.
Man, that series ruined me. I blazed through the first four. I remember finding two of them on clearance even. Ended up having to wait for each subsequent book and was never disappointed. No other book has filled that gap for me since.
