"Order of series"
I hope someday Audible publishes the whole series (or at least numbers them), in the
meanwhile, here is something that might be useful.
The Vorkosigan Saga, in series order:
- Dreamweaver's Dilemma
- Falling Free
- Shards of Honor
- The Warrior's Apprentice
- The Mountains of Mourning (included in Borders of Infinity)
- The Vor Game
- Cetaganda
- Ethan of Athos
- Labyrinth (included in Borders of Infinity)
- The Borders of Infinity
- Brothers in Arms
- Mirror Dance (1994)
- Memory (1996)
- Komarr (1998)
- A Civil Campaign
- Winterfair Gifts
- Diplomatic Immunity
In truth you can skip around, but it's more fun if you kindof read these in order.
"Pass"
No
Not written it.
Meh.
Boredom
This book is the narration about the life of an unsuccessful woman.
Nothing of interest really happens, it’s not funny. She talks a lot about babies.
That’s it.
Do you really want to read something like this?
"Better than the movie of the same name!"
This book was amazingly hard to put down, one of the best I have listened to all year!
There is a sequel called "Tandia"
The movie is great, but it is so different from the book that you can enjoy them both as if they were separate works, plus it has great actors in it!
"A quality Cyberpunk series"
You can't go wrong with this series! Very hard to put down. One of the very few decent cyberpunk series out there. You really won't regret it!
"Enjoyable"
Even though it is a romance (can I say, chick novel?), I found it very enjoyable. Not having ever experienced the unabridged version, this version seems just fine to me. I’m sure it would be a lot better with more detail, but I liked it nonetheless. Sometimes you just need to take a break from heavy reading and this is just the thing!
"Preachy.. Rehashed.. Nothing new.."
This book isn’t anything original; it’s just a transcript of jokes and stories that everyone in the world has already seen on the internet before at least a dozen times. The problem is that you are not only getting the rehashed jokes and stories, you are getting annoying chain letters and preachy emails in addition to home cure remedies that may or may not work, etc. Amazingly, they even tried to include in this audio version one of those letters where everything is written with numbers but is still possible to read. It comes as no surprise that that one makes little sense if you can’t see it printed in front of you. The most irritating part for me was the inclusion of those stories whose sole purpose is to make you feel bad about something.
I think the author just got every pile of junk mail he received over the past 2 years and printed them out in this book without filtering them first.
Some of these jokes were at least funny once in a far distant past so I’ll give the book a 3, but I’m going to have to take one star off for preachiness.
"Bah.."
Is it my impression or is Terry P. not really trying anymore? I also get the feeling that they published the book without editing it.
This is one of TP's worse books, sadly I have to admit that his worse book is still worth at least 4 stars compared to others. His stories always flow well and you really want to keep on reading, even the not-so-good ones.
"A stand alone - not series"
While this is classified as junior fiction it doesnt patronize or underestimate the reader, hence it can be enjoyable at any age. Nation is a very enjoyable story and the reading is, of course, impeccable. If you like the Diskworld series, you will not see so much of the series traditional humor although lots of the elements are easily recognizable. I feel this is a definite step up from his previous 'kids books' as I really did not like some of the characters (er.. Tiffany Aching) you could find in them. Its worth mentioning that this is not a series, its a stand-alone story. This book earns its 5 star reputation by giving you a hefty fight when you try to put it down!
"Young and Idealistic"
Here is one thing that is missing in the description:
It's junior fiction.
That being said, it is very well read and a very enjoyable book as it keeps a fun pace. Being 30 something myself I found myself cringing a couple of times at some of the scenes in this book that depict people as being open, honest and charitable (just like real life, huh?). Worth reading, pick it up if you feel like reading about a world with a couple honest people in it.
