A review by jenbsbooks
Nexus by Ramez Naam
Did not finish book.
2.0
I didn't dislike like this ... although I didn't love it. It was just really dragging for me, and there are just so many books out there. I don't like to DNF, but, stopping at just over 50%. There is a chance I come back. Perhaps my mood plays a part in my perception of this book.
I was listening to the audio edition. I like Luke Daniels ... but he, and the other uber professional narrators (those whose voices just SOUND like a godly 3rd person telling a story) and the stories like THIS ... third person, so many different POV/Characters and quickly, switching scenes. I've read many that have this feel. I've liked a lot of them, others not so much, but that style, combined with the familiar voicing narration ...
I just never quite connected with the characters, or the setting ... the futuristic "nexus" drug that could connect minds was interesting, complex.
Lots of language, sexual situations, violence ... that had nothing to do with my like/dislike of the story, just noting it (I know some prefer to have content warnings before starting a book, and just for my memory, as it could impact who I recommend certain stories to).
