This book grabbed me from the first page and I’m thinking Daniel H Wilson is quickly becoming my favorite new author. I loved reading this from cover to cover. It’s certainly an interesting concept, where we can become ‘amplified’ to enhance ourselves but then you’d have to ask yourselves where th...
DNF I think I've read thirty pages of this, put the book down, and said "never again". This is probably my personal record that I gave up on the book. I don't exactly know what it is. The premise sounds great, the title, the cover, everything is great, except from what's inside the book. In those ...
The digital age has been a boon for many would-be authors and self publishing has allowed many authors to find an audience they might not have gained in previous eras. Unfortunately, while this has allowed some great authors a chance to have their work published and to make a living from writing, it...
I'm on page 161 of 347 of Robopocalypse: Repeated fat-shaming, women relegated to wife/mother/innocent child, stereotyped Afghani and Osage characters, clever white guys to the rescue. Wilson knows a lot about robotics and bupkis about people. I've just read too many 'pocalypse stories in which the ...
There is nothing more frightening than an artificial intelligence becoming sentient and independent, which is why it is a common plotline in science fiction. Daniel H. Wilson explored this very idea in Robopocalypse, as Archos did its best to destroy humankind in its original form. However, as Robog...
Daniel H. Wilson specializes in stories in which the use of future technology upends society in some fashion. His intent is not only to tell an exciting story but to also spark discussions among fans about the potential dangers of technology. In Amped though, he fails to achieve his objective to gen...
The first half got a 4 and the 2nd a 3, so it's more like a 3.5I'm much more interested in reading about things going awry (especially when those things are robots and awry is a virus that makes them murderous) than in the all out war that occurs between robots and humans. Wilson is able to nail the...

Anthology. I've only read the authors I know all of which happen to be female :) 3.875 stars. Laughter at the Academy by Seanan McGuire. A psychiatrist on a rampage. 2-1/2 stars.The Space Between by Diana Gabaldon. Loved that we get to see some of our old friends and enemies again. This one has the ...
I really couldn't get into it. I had to force myself to finish. I'm not sure what the problem was. It may be that the character I liked the most didn't last beyond the first few pages. The protagonist wasn't particularly interesting and I didn't care about his problems. It might have been more i...
