We Are Legion (We Are Bob): Bobiverse, Book 1 por Dennis E. Taylor

Reads like golden-age hard sci-fi (maybe subtracting rampant "ism"s). Problem-solving through innovation and clever use of technology. Author cleverly puts us in Bob's head from the first moment.

Heaven's River: Bobiverse, Book 4 por Dennis E. Taylor

I love the characters of the Bobiverse. This book seemed to drag a bit as our heroes traveled through a huge structure, but the comedic element was, as usual for these books, front and center. And geeky and nerdy to the max.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse, #1) por Dennis E. Taylor

This book is funny and witty. It starts with a captivating thought experiment that will likely find its way in identity philosophy. I really enjoyed that part.

Once you are past the mind blowing background and the adventure begins, the book gave me the same feeling as a video game that is open ended, after you beat the last boss. A lot of fun things to explore and do, but no real tension.

So, besides the fun thought experiment, the book felt flat. I am not easily convinced by pop and sci-fi culture and references, the abuse of which I am sure explain the popular success of the book. The world building around the geopolitics is quite immature and would work for a joke, but it turns out the book relies on it for its main plot and it just gets annoying.… (mais)

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse, #1) por Dennis E. Taylor

Funny. It started out great, some real nice nerd humor, and interesting story line. At some point the number of Bobs start to multiply and the story gets a little disjointed. Fortunately most story lines are engaging though, so I enjoyed it, and intend to find book nr. 2.
