For We Are Many (Bobiverse) Paperback – April 14, 2017

The second book outshines and out sciences the first.The initial premise of the book is an intriguing look at something that people are doing today and possible ramifications in our future tomorrow. The whimsical look at a whim to live longer through cryogenic freezing. What happens when the world takes enough left turns that maybe you don't want to wake up to what's out there, not to mention that there may now be moral and ethical considerations that will prevent the original plan from being carried out.What if the future deems you to be a non-person and possibly a source of technology--possibly old technology that might be tossed out or upgraded and put to use slaved to whatever task they deem necessary. That's not even mentioning the on/off switch.Bob wakes up to a world of future advancements in things that could only be imagined and maybe a few that hadn't quite been imagined, to find that mankind has taken a few steps backward while heading into the future; and though there are interesting and bright horizons out there, he has to escape from humanities clutches to realize that.I've purchased and read both books (the paperback editions). Going out on a limb with that purchase based on reading the book-one sample.I was not disappointed.Certainly they are many; however I might argue that they are not Bob.I wasn't sure about that aspect, but having each Bob become something different and yet having throughout the story referential elements that were similar was quite entertaining and probably difficult to write.However Dennis has great success there because it could have gotten confusing for a number of reason and yet it didn't and it may be despite of, and possibly because of the multiple number of short chapters and how well they are crafted.I fully expected to get lost at some point and of course I couldn't read it all in one night. (One night--two books--that's my better half who might be able to do that.) So the small chapters were great, you could stop anywhere. However they were just short enough and each chapter's beginning and ending are crafted to make you turn the next page so it becomes--just a moment, next chapter, and I'll get ready for bed.Yes there were some fantastical elements in both books, but the science and the various issues and what ifs were all pretty well crafted and didn't ever threaten to overwhelm the story itself which was basically how the character coped and evolved throughout the story.Two thumbs up from all of us; we are many we are reader.For anyone expecting something silly; you won't be disappointed, but you will get a huge bonus when you get hooked on this one.J.L.

For We Are Many, book number two of the Bobiverse, was another jolt of fun in my reading schedule!It takes the best parts about We Are Legion (We Are Bob) and takes them to their obvious next level. With a bit more action and lots of intriguing interactions as the Bobs continue to expand and explore what their existence truly means to them and to others, I would say that this sequel was exactly what I was hoping for. It didn’t really surprise me at all, but that’s alright.I got through it quickly, and like the first book it also similarly is not a long read. It makes for a little bit of that “Oh, let’s keep binging!” feel that is common to the LitRPG genre, which I think works very well for this series.The ‘hard science’ aspect of this series remains strong as well, at least in terms of technological development, keeping it as an instant recommend for those who love Hard Science Fiction.More than that, though, the Bobiverse series remains a love letter to the genre of Science Fiction as a whole, with fun references and tidbits scattered throughout. So, I will say again what I said in my review of the first book: this is absolutely a series worth checking out!

This book is an excellent expansion of the base story in book one. I find it amazing how well this author can juggle so many branches of the story while constantly expanding and progressing into new avenues. Extremely well done. I hope the remaining three books in this series keeps me as riveted to each page as the first two books have. I have already recommended this series to a reader friend of mine.All available reading material is not created equal. I am delighted that this gifted author is available through Kindle Unlimited.

I have to say that I was surprised by the second book of the series.I enjoyed the first one but wasn't sure I would read the rest of the series ( I am an avid series reader:)) but decided to go on and get the second one because it was a nice read the first time around.How I'm glad I did.most "second" books or movies are normally more of the same or worse than the first, or even completely different.This was an improvement.I loved it and think it is more fun to read than the first.It starts off fast, with more action and more interesting things going on than the first book.Being that you are already immersed in the story and world, there is no need for long introductions and time wasted getting into things.Its just full on fun from the get go.I would highly recommend this book if you enjoyed the first one and would encourage anyone who isn't sure if they want to read the second one or not.Read it:)
