Welcome to Litsy!

What a fun read!

Mickey has signed up for a mission where he is expendable. When another version of him is created, and two of him are wandering around, madness ensues in all the best ways.

This read is immersive, fast paced, and adventurous. Mickey's character is snarky and had me laughing out loud several times.

I can't wait to revisit this world and these characters again.

A Pick-ish 3½⭐
Ɱ◎◎ĐႽ » Science Fiction » Of the interstellar variety » Cloning (or the making of multiples/expendables) » A very unique concept

While the concept of “expendables” was interesting and it had loads of potential I still found myself wanting more from this. But for others, it could possibly be perfect. For me personally, I believe it droned on scientifically a little too much and didn't have enough actual story.

This was fun! I really enjoyed the fast pace and I enjoyed the snark of the lead character. Definitely recommend!!

I really enjoyed Mickey7. Mickey and Nasha are a blast. Love the backstory. I am very excited that Bong Joon Ho is making a movie adaptation!

Mickey Barnes is an expendable on a space colony. Whenever dangerous work needs to be done, it is up to him to risk his life. Mickey7 is the seventh rebirth, and the story follows what happens when a second Mickey is accidentally created at the same time. The is a fast paced, fun and immersive read and the audio was fantastic. Loved it! #pantone2022

Such a fun and unique concept - a great easy weekend read!

Super fun sci-Fi. Read in combo egalley and #audiobook. Both were awesome sauce. Snarky and fun!! #ARC #NetGalley

This is my pickup order. This wasn't on my radar whatsoever, but when I saw that Bong Joon-ho's (Snowpiercer, The Host, Okja, Parasite) next project is an adaptation, that is all I needed to know! I also picked up Red Rising. I read the first 2 chapters & was immediately hooked. I'm clearly on a sci-fi kick!

🎧 “Stupidest death ever.”

I read this book in one sitting. The narrator is great. I loved this book!

Mickey is the “expendable” in a terraforming colony, the job description is: immortal. Mickey has died 6 times.

There are strict laws, there can never be two Mickey‘s alive at the same time. What would happen if there were accidentally two? Well, let the fun begin as there can be only one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+ 👇🏻

Edward Ashton‘s SF novel is a breezy, entertaining read held together by Mickey7‘s excellent first person narration. Ashton does well in differentiating Mickey7 from Mickey8 and setting out the background and perils of colonisation such that it isn‘t until the end that you realise how thin the actual plot is and how slight the supporting cast. That said, there are a lot of ideas at play here and I can well understand the buzz surrounding it.

I haven‘t read science fiction in years and this was so much fun! Mickey7 is an Expendable on a colonizing mission. His job is to do the dangerous stuff. If he dies doing it, they just generate a new one.
In this book, we get a good story along with a thoughtful treatise on immortality. Is a new Mickey the same as the old Mickey.
Read it! It‘s good. Release date: Feb. 15

First book of the #DashingDecember #readathon finished. @Andrew65

Quite enjoyed this story about an Expendable on a beachhead colony. Topics of immortality, what defines sentient beings, what humans do when conquering new territory.

Mickey is an expendable. Meaning, he's kind of immortal. Also, he's the one who has to do the dangerous jobs in the beachhead colony.

When the 7th instalment doesn't die, but an 8th version has already been generated; colonists die; the local fauna starts being really aggressive;...

Half way through the #ARC and really enjoying it.

Intriguing story that raises questions about what it is to be you. Mickey is the "expendable" on a deep space mission to colonize another planet. He gets all the dangerous jobs and when he dies a copy of himself is printed. Liked the plot and the character of Mickey7 was well done. 4⭐
