Easy reading, but gets repetitive after a while
Bob’s consciousness is uploaded into a spaceship’s, which heads out to explore the universe. Breezy reading, with style reminiscent of The Martian at times.
Loved The Martian, but this felt like it was trying too hard.
There are over 15 books in this series, not ready to dedicate that much time here
Final book jumps quite a bit ahead in time, can be skipped
Series starts strong, though the most recent books were just OK. Waiting on the final five books to be written.
Space antics with realistic physics. Quality dips midway through, but first few books are great. I haven’t watched the show yet.
Heard a lot of hype about Emily Wilson’s modern translation, so decided to give it a shot.

However, finishing this ended up being a bit of a slog for me.
I’m a sucker for time travel stories, this one works
