    "the narration is abysmally uninspired"

    it's a great book, I've read it before and the character voices were alright but the narration was so dull it was hard to stay awake to.

    "EON - Greg Bear"

    Outstanding story! This would make a very successful movie if done correctly. The author immerses the reader in a puzzle to be solved that becomes an enormous adventure. Sci-Fi at it's best!

    "PHYSICS"

    Overly technical, seemed as though author wanted to express his knowledge or perceived knowledge of physics more than tell a story. Long time spent listening to end up with 1 chapter inconclusive ending. Basic story was there but lost in theories and probabilities. Would not recommend as good or true sci-FI

    "A classic written in '85"

    It's a pretty good book. I really liked the first half of the book, maybe the first 3rd, but after that, it just kind of got weird.

    "Quantum gravity"

    I first read Eon w/out any substantive knowledge of quantum gravity, general relativity, etc--big mistake! After listening to literally hundreds of "rigorously scientific" accounts authored by Brian Greene, Sean Carrol, et al re non-fiction cosmological books, I have nothing but praise for this audiobook, the narrator, author, etc. Bravo, Greg!

    Story
    "OMG! Like Counting Grains Of Sand!!"

    Dull? No, dull's a quantum leap.... UP from "EON". Who cares about these people? Who cares about exhausting cinematic description IN A BOOK? Get ready for every detail of Greg Bear's imaginary friends? Okay, one of the powers of SciFi is exploring the fantasy worlds of good writers. Bear's not one of them. Maybe if he was better edited? There's a magic word that someone should whisper in his ear..... "pace."

    Did I mention that this is really long... and feels longer? Unless I need sleep, I'll not finish EON nor read another of these hard-to-Bear stories..... ZZZZZZZZzzzzz!

    "engaging characters in compelling story"

    The ending was unexpected. The story moves at a good pace and maintained my interest to the end.
