*couldn't* care less

Network Effect is best of all of them.
However I'm currently reading System Collapse and finding it pretty dull and predictable compared to the previous books. Perhaps it will liven up . . .

Also it's a book that can be reread and appreciated more the second time . . .

One of the most enjoyable and original books I've read in the last few years!

They do stay with you, I think.

That reminds me why I never joined a book club!

Definitely my favourite!

Yes, the 'world building', as it is now called, is unparalleled. It is hard to describe just how it envelopes the reader!

Thanks - I have found the battle scenes in some of his other books too detailed and overlong, so ended up skipping them. That's also why I haven't yet read this book, but perhaps I will give it a try.

Piranesi is one of my top 10, for sure!

I share your views on The Sparrow - only just managed to get through it!

Does it have a lot of choreographed battle scenes? The author seems to like those . . .

Agreed. Also a lot of religious overtones, which did put me off reading the follow up.
