![]() ![]() You Have Arrived at Your Destination by Amor Towles - ⭑⭑⭑⭑☆ By far the least interesting and least engaging of the six, in my opinion. I got to the end and was like "Is that it?"Ĭold, distant characters, boring story. Weir spends the first half geeking out about coding and computing, never developing any of the characters, and then the second half just fizzles out. That opinion being that this story was so dry and dull. I got my partner to read this too because I wondered if all the discussion of quantum computing was more interesting to a techie computer geek, but he shares my opinion. It felt almost as if Weir didn't even try. ![]() I can now say that Randomize was by far my least favourite story. Mostly because authors like Blake Crouch and N.K.

The only problems that I had with this movie was the lack of dialogue, the overused cliches, and the flaws. New Line Cinema spent three years making this film? Boy, that was lucky.
