It took me a whole month to read this book. Youch. Med school is really kicking in with no free time thing at the moment.

But back to the book, from what I recall it really was great. What I enjoyed the most was the classic science fiction cornerstone that this novel represents. I wasn't reading it for the story or adventure so much as I was for the inevitable knowledge that this would bring to my future scifi books.

That said, it didn't disappoint. It did bore me a bit at times, and the dialogue seemed downright childish at times, but aside from that it was definitely worth reading.

Cheers for cornerstone genre novels!

This was so different from the beloved series that it almost felt like fan fiction. Genders were changed, the Cylons were strange...but it was interesting to bear witness to a certain character’s untimely death.

I went into this book blind to the story. I hadn't watched the TV series or watched the movie.
I ended up enjoying this story quite a bit. Nothing ground breaking or Earth shattering to me, but it was a fun space opera.
I do plan to now go and explore the rest!
