DNF after 22%.

There may be a decent SF idea in here but I was utterly bored by the banal relationship drama.

It is perhaps somehow appropriate that in a book about Earth time slowing down to a fraction of that of the universe, the first 80 pages seemed to last an eternity.

Spin is a great mix of huge complex mystery and the relationships of a small group of friends. Despite the book being an opener to a trilogy it still manages to give a satisfactory ending while teasing the huge potential the next two books have.

Interesting sci-fi but I found the book too sterile. It didn't make me feel anything or care about any of the characters.

Just love this book. He has a way of writing characters that really resonates with me. The book was actually far less science focused than I remember. Far more character driven. I'm going to make it a point to re-read book 2 and then read book 3 for the first time.

read over half, maybe more, and I just wasn't into it enough to finish.

I read it and I did not like it as much as I thought I would. It had an intriguing premise but an almost lame ending.
