Back in 2010 I saw Riverworld on the SyFy channel. It was a failed series and I was intrigued and interested in the story. 13 years later I finally read the book. There are several books in the Riverworld series and I found the first book interesting enough to check out the next books at some point.

I don't know what to say about this book. It was interesting to read, but I almost did not finish it because of the weird and somewhat outdated way people were portrayed. Also, some of it was sort of historical, and I sadly am not smart enough to really be gripped by those implications. The science fiction portion of it kept me going, though. I am not sure if I will be continuing with it because I don't really connect with the main character, who is leading us along this journey through his eyes. A very cool premise, though. We will see.
