Wasn't what I was expecting, and that's okay!

Revisado: 04-12-21

I loved Infinite. It was the book that explained simulation theory well enough for me to understand it for the first time. Since then, I've thought a lot about it and have even developed some of my own story ideas around it. This book is very different from the first novel and was not what I was expecting, but damn was it good. I love Jeremy Robinson's creativity and quirkiness and loved the author's note and outtakes at the end. Appreciate the work of both Jeremy and RC (Whose voice I followed to this novel).

A captivating story that makes you think

Revisado: 04-23-18

This book took me a bit to get in to, but when it hits, it really hits. Loved the dialog about the implications of living in a simulation, the scientific tie in with background radiation, the realistic interactions and behaviors of an AI/HI, and the number of storylines that could've made this a series but made for an action packed book.

This is a book that has me thinking hours after finishing it. Great work!

Excellent and inspiring

Revisado: 01-02-18

Let me just say it, I suck at loving people, and basically having compassion of any sort. However, I have recognized this and have been trying to think of ways to combat it. This book has helped confirm some ideas I've had on how to grow in the area of compassion and how to try to bring people together, instead of divide them apart. Excellent book, highly recommend.

Great but a little repetitive

Revisado: 12-25-17

This book was great just like the first one. There's a mountain of creativity in this book that is pure genius as it regards how the crew solve complex problems that seem to have no answer. My only complaint is that whenever one of these situations arises, the back and forth is almost identical.

Skippy: "There's no way around this one. I am amazing and have ran through every possibility."
Joe: "I have an idea."
Skippy: "Oh please don't tell me you were trying to think with your monkey brain again. Did you not hear me? We are doomed."
Joe: (Explains idea)
Skippy: "Dammit. I hadn't thought of that."

Once or twice would be fine, but this conversation happened about eighteen times in this book alone.

Still going to grab the next book. I just hope Skippy learns that sometimes humans have good ideas, as history has now clearly indicated.

Great story and great voice

Revisado: 12-06-17

I am really digging this series so far. The story is big and doesn’t spend countless hours trying to cover things we simply don’t understand, like how wormholes look, how alien toilets operate, etc. I love the narrator’s voice and range which is perfect for the main character. There is plenty of soft humor and some points that had me laughing, which is typically rare in audio books. Looking forward to the next installment!

Kept me curious till right near the end

Revisado: 08-23-17

This was a great book recommended time by Ben Shapiro. I don't usually read mysteries so this was exciting and kept me guessing until the last few minutes. Now I want to listen again!

Great book, but consider buying it in print

Revisado: 12-15-16

What made the experience of listening to Do More Better the most enjoyable?

The content was full of practical tips and information to help improve personal productivity. It provides step by step walkthroughs of generating a solid outline for your day, the tools you use, and how to use them. I am already benefitting from this.

What other book might you compare Do More Better to and why?

Four Hour Workweek (Ferriss) and What's Best Next (Perman)

Any additional comments?

The audio version is a bit of a challenge, because the book has several "Action Steps" where you will want to stop the audio, and go do the step. While it is only a couple hours long, it took a few hours more than that to get through, because of actually following the book's instruction. In other words, this isn't a book you'll want to listen to on your work commute or while jogging, but rather while you're at a computer following the "steps". If that is a problem for you, then I would highly recommend the print format instead.
