Book ReviewMarch Upcountry
I had plans for this weekend. I really did. But it is not 05:35AM and for the second day in a row, I am watching dawn raise and feeling very annoyed at myself. Yesterday I started to listen to the March Upcountry audio book. Just to give you an impression, it is a 17 hours audio book, and I have just now finished it. Yes, this does mean that I spent most of the last to days listening to it. Luckily I am able to do other tasks while listening (mechanical only, nothing that requires concentration or beyond-reflexes thinking).
To say it is intense is like saying that water are wet. I really love the style, and the narration is excellent. The story itself is very good, extremely detailed and believable and I simply love the characters. I am really pissed that the book ended in a cliff hanger, and as I am in the process of downloading the second book in the series right now, I woudl be seriously considering starting to listen to it right now, if I didn't have about an hour to wait for it to get down.
As a side result of this, I am on an Email Strike, which means that I am only giving cursory look in my inbox, which has ~70 unread conversations.

well, when you get back to reading email, please read one of mine asking for help with brail/monorail. not urgent, but appreciated.
i certainly understand getting wrapped up into an audio book.
The description seems to indicate it's either a pulp novel, or something resembling the Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold.
How would you define it?
very close to the vorkosigan, I would say.
I vastly enjoyed Miles' adventures as well
