That's not a criticism. I don't believe you can judge a book by the first few chapters.

While I hope I have better success with the Hitchhikers Guide than those of you who did not enjoy it, at least I won't feel like a SciFi outcast if it turns out not to be my cup of tea.

BelleZora, thank you for your feedback on Bird Box, I have no expectations going into that one. I hope we both enjoy The Martian and The Iron King!

Thank you and a very Happy New Year to you both!!

It does sound fascinating, yet people seem reluctant to give it a go. Thank you for your feedback and for participating in the poll. I look forward to reading Dust, eventually.
