Just finishing up Artemis, Andy Weir's sophomore effort. A good listen, but with even more flaws than Martian. I'll give it 3 stars, but that's only because it does pull you along. The dialog is strained, at best, and Jazz's internal dialog with herself is just not very convincing at times. But it is fun.
Next up, something a bit more worthy, I hope--R. F. Delderfield's Long Summer Day, the first book in his A Horseman Riding By trilogy. At least with this book, I'll be sure the dialog will be well written and believable.
