Status Updates From Sundiver (The Uplift Saga, #1)

The ending of this book is just a bunch of ridiculous things that don’t really go together.

If this part is the true explanation for everything that happened, what do I continue reading for? Also how could Jacob just know all of this? I don’t enjoy that we weren’t brought along for any of it. He just suddenly “knew” all of it. It was too easy.

I’m struggling to want to continue this book. So far, it seems nothing more than a political commentary on xenophobia and environmentalism. At one point I almost gave up on it, but then I was enticed by a possible “haunted spaceship” however we have not been clued into what that actually means and I’m not sure if we ever will be.

Considering abandoning the book … it’s just not drawing me in. Cool concepts, mediocre execution.

I’m not very excited about this book. Just under z1/2 way in. It did both the Hugo and Nebula awards, so I figured I’d give it a try. But like so many other award winning books, my tastes diverge from those of the judges.
