Six months have passed since the release of Nexus 5. The world is a different, more dangerous place.

Not good as the last one

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I felt like this story was essentially the same as the last one, but dragged out in a more tedious way. I don't think this was time well spent.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Since I listened to this series back-to-back, I hated that they switched narrators. I didn't think the last one was that great, but I liked this one even less than last time.

Could you see Crux being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

They could make the plot line into a TV series, but they'd probably end up re-writting most of it, kind of how they did with Wayward Pines.

I read, loved and reviewed this book, YOUR TURN

Ramez Naam. What an amazing talent!!!! I have read his set of books and I loved loved loved them!!!!! I bought Crux in audio format and loved the narrator as well! if you get only one seriesbthisbyear, getbthisbone.... it was so intricate, and compkex, fully engaged my imagination and made me want to learn so much and I truly admire the author in real life for all his accomplishments as well! After wrapping up the first book I looked him up and was shocked at his life work!!!! So talented and smart! My new bucket list item is to meet Ramez one day!

What i expected, and then some!

Any additional comments?

Im not really good at reviews but I can say a few things. The story blended well with the first book, and took turns that I didn't expect. I was excited to read this and I was happy that I did. Its nice to read a story with such complicated ideas in it. I patiently wait for more from this author.

Violent

Is there anything you would change about this book?

There was too much violence and too many gruesome details of torture and death.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Robert J Sawyer is a much more pleasant read.

Did Crux inspire you to do anything?

I had to find something happy to read every time I put that book down.

epic!

this trilogy is fantastic! the characters are intriguing and the story is gripping! looking forward to part 3!
