Critic reviews

" The Ship is tense, engaging and emotionally charged: I devoured this novel." (Helen Dunmore)

"A beautiful futuristic fable with huge power to haunt and disturb." (M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the Gifts)

Very good story

I enjoyed listening to this story. Antonia Honeywell does a good job giving us a glimpse of what the future might become if we are not careful. It was well written and Melody Grove's performance was a good one. The only downside is the ending that left me wondering what happened next.

Liked but ended terribly

Hated the ending, returned it because of it. Also never understood why Lalla couldn't just seize the opportunity to become their leader and focus on organic regrowth in order to save them all instead of only seeing the ship as only a grave when it could have been a temporary haven while she figured out how to change things.

meh

good start. then nothing... for 8 hours all you get is a whiney girl... and nothing else.

Ok book

The premise and story of this book are interesting. I hated the main character so much I could barely stand the story because of her ridiculous thoughts and actions. Also, the reader kind of bothered me too.

At times the story moved to slow

At times the story moved to slow but it was a pretty good story. It seemed real.
