What did you love best about Thrust?
The narrator . He did a great job; the book itself was not my usual fare. It was enjoyable and engaging, yet left me feeling strange and unsettled. My usual fare is paranormal romance and police procedural, though, so don't take my word for it !
What other book might you compare Thrust to and why?
Maybe Pulp Fiction (yes, I KNOW it's a movie, and I didn't read the book, if there is one). There is some major race stereotyping (not in a negative way, just present), and a fair amount of drama.
Which scene was your favorite?
I enjoyed the opening scene. The Def Poetry Jam was pretty spot on (a la 8 Mile, circa 1970)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No. I needed to take several breaks, to think about it. Probably why it's not my abso-favorite.
Any additional comments?
Just that the author obviously has a good grasp of storytelling. I don't mean to slam that by only giving 4 stars to the story. This is just not my slice of pie. The narrator did a fantastic job with it, and earned all 5 stars. I wish that I could bump it up, but I am committed to giving honest reviews.
