For me the best way of experiencing these was with Wil Wheaton narrating. I spent about a fortnight of commuting listening to them and it was brilliant.
I still prefer player one rather than player two (I think player two has a little 'too much' nostalgia if that is such a thing?) but they're still worth a read if you're old enough to remember the references.
The biggest problem it has is that it has to follow one of the best modern science fiction books written in the last twenty years. That was a high bar it was almost certainly never going to get over.
99p? A complete and utter bargain.
Even when compared to Armada this is shockingly bad.
The first book was a phenomenal read, this just fell flat for me. Didn't like most of the new characters or the changes to the old ones. The whole Prince plot line was utter crap and overall the book was a massive let down.
Thankfully if they ever do make this into a film it will likely require more changes than the first to get it to the screen so perhaps that will redeem it .....
Got half way through and had enough. From what I remember, the undertones of our current society and social political topics was always a talking point or a focus, despite being far away in the future where you would assume its a thing of "the past". Things we ponder over now, will be insignificant in 50 years from now.
Really enjoyed the first book though
