krakentamer 's review for:
Pandora's Star
by Peter F. Hamilton
So I finally finished this behemoth of a book. Overall, I liked it. Well, about 2/3 of it. Unfortunately, the 2/3 that I liked were interrupted by the 1/3 I didn't like. The biggest thing that I didn't like about the book was the fact that it couldn't decide WHAT kind of book it was going to be. Space Opera? Colonization? Life in the 24th century? Detective? Exploration? Political? All of that and much more!
Honestly, if the 1/3 of the book that dealt with the murder investigation and all of the political intrigue had been expunged then this would be a 5-star book. The good was really just that good. The rest was just distracting.
And then an honest-to-FSM cliffhanger of an ending.
Unfortunately, I'm just not feeling up to dealing with another 37+ hour audiobook where I can't wait for it to JUST GET ON WITH THE GOOD STUFF ALREADY!
