Not at all what I expected, but still interesting, as always with Steinbeck. Quite short too !

Excellent bouquin du non moins excellent @loevenbruck@toot.portes-imaginaire.org. Bien ficelé, super bien documenté. Un plaisir recommandé !

Number 3 in the series, and I believe the last one. Not bad at all, but I can't help feeling it's a good thing it's finished. I have the impression that each book is just a tiny bit less good than the previous (I avoided worse on purpose, because it's not that bad). Still worth a read, loads of twists even if sometimes a bit predictable.

Ini buku anak-anak. Buku ini ada di sini karena ini buku pertama yang saya baca dalam bahasa Indonesia :-) Ada juga resep telur asin.

Second instalment of the Academy/Hutch story. More adventures, still very nice even if the end seemed a bit confused to me. Maybe a tad below the engines of gods, but still worth a read :-)

Excellent book - hard not to think about RDV with Rama, even if the plot is very different. Well written and really thrilling. The only thing I regretted was the end, which seemed a bit precipitated, it could easily have been delayed over another chapter or two :-) Definitely recommended.

Excellent book, and I'm tempted to say mandatory reading for anyone not familiar with the subject. I was, having been in IT for more years then I care to recall, but it was still an interresting book, if nothing else because it gave flesh and example to things I've always thought without being sure. 2 things to keep in mind: The book is written from a UK/US point of view, so many of the things said are not valid in the EU. The author recognizes that, but obviously didn't fully grasp the amount of differences. The book was written in 2018. That's almost 7 years ago, and in computerland, it's like a century. Many things have changed, and it is funny to see some of the declarations and predictions made then... But all in all very recommended.

nice little story, but not necessarily great litterature :-)

Un peu brouillon à mon goût comme fin, qui n'en est peut-être pas une ???

L'intrigue se développe et part lentement vers sa conclusion. Toujours aussi imaginatif...en avant vers le tome 4 !

Toujours aussi interessant et plein de rebondissements. Comme prevu, le livre ne se termine pas vraiment, et donc on continue avec le tome 3 :-)

Un livre très intéressant, découvert via une recherche sur “steampunk”. Pas très steampunk en ce qui me concerne, mais bien ficelé et plein de rebondissements, Lecture simple, mais agréable. Attention: le livre se termine sur une porte ouverte, donc il vaut mieux avoir les suivants (et je soupçonne fort, la série complète des quatre) avant de se mettre à lire.

Very nice. Seems to go back to previous style of writing, which I definitely prefer.

Interesting book, with definitely an ending that leaves you wanting for more... :-)

mmm. Jury's still out on this one :-) Not bad
