You wake up floating. Not in the air, but horizontally in a coffin-sized chamber filled with blue gelatinous fluid. You do not remember what this is. You do not remember why you are here. You do not remember who you are.

Story
When the biggest colony ship in human history was sent to settle a paradise world, an accident hurtled it deep into uncharted space. A thousand light years from Earth, with no way home and no way to call for help, the colonists’ only hope for survival was the one barely habitable planet in range, a nightmare world they named Croatoan. Landing on the only five mountain peaks tall enough to rise above the lethal acid clouds, the settlers carved a civilization from the rock.

Might be good for the target listener.
Disclaimer: I only listened to 55% of the book. At this point, I'm calling it.
Grand Theft Astro by Scott Meyer receives three stars from me. It should also be noted--I'm not the target audience, so I feel my opinion carries less weight. Maybe those in the target or professionals with the target audience would be better.
The reader was Elizabeth Evans, and I found her reading to be solid. The tone that she had for the main character was annoying and conceited. I felt this fit the character perfectly. I
What I liked: there is adventure, there is mystery. These are all fine. However,
What I didn't like: Basically, the plot moves over several years but what seems like days to the main character. She's put in status. She's awakened when a job needs doing, which to her seems like the next day. She does the job, but doesn't work on as much her own issue, her own problem that has lead to the situation of being put in status. I feel that this is a flow in the narrative. Maybe, as the book progresses, this will happen, but at 55% of the book this should have already started.
The jobs she does all seem insurmountable, but she does them with ease. Maybe this is due to the target reader, but for me, I would have like to have had more difficulty in these tasks.
For me, this is like a bit of a TV show, where each Job is a new episode of the show, and the real problem is sort of ignored or barely mention. I felt that there was no character development either (which is kind of understandable in a real sense because each job is the next day to her, so how could she develop or change.) I'd like her to open up more, find someone to keep in her confidence, seek help to resolve her issues.
Recommended: if you are an adult who reads juvinile lit, and reads it from the perspective of an adult, this might not be for you. And maybe, we adults who try to read this way shouldn't read these books. I do try to read thinking of the target audience, but maybe I need to work not this more.
If you are an adult who reads from the perspective of the young folks---this might be a good read for you.
For the target audience, yeah, I think it might be good.

Grand Theft Astro
The story was finely crafted and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The author’s depiction of what Mormons are like totally cracked me up. This story, although science fiction, rings as true today as I am sure it will for future generations.

lost a star for the ending
engaging, imaginative story throughout with likeable characters. easily worth a credit. however the ending left me wondering what the author had to do next. it did not detract from the story, but did not add to it at all.

Not the usual level of excellence
I am a huge fan of the author’s other works. They are fun, compelling, and have quirky characters that are flawed in interesting ways. I had hoped for the same here. This book missed the mark.
The writing is fine. The story is fairly disjointed and both challenging to get invested in as well as having very little payoff for many sections of the content. The pacing was very slow to start and choppy afterwards. One might say that was the point, but I disagree and point to the pacing within the vignettes.
That’s my biggest complaint. This novel is a series of vignettes and would have worked better as a compilation of short stories.
If this is your first book by Mr. Meyer, Please read his other works. They are wonderful and fun.

Fantastic!!!
I haven’t enjoyed a story this much in a long time. Scott Meyer has yet to disappoint with one of his tales. I hope there are more stories with this heroine(?) to come. I was totally immersed in her world, and sad to say goodbye!

Narrator was entertaining overall, however she lacked distinct voices sometimes.
The story was entertaining and everything tied together well.
