I was looking forward to reading a small portion of this book to see if I'll enjoy it, but after reading about the errors, I'm a little wary now. Excessive errors in a book really drive me nuts and, honestly, make me a little anxious since I can't fix them. I'll still start reading this book because it sounds really interesting. Hopefully I can look past the errors.

I haven't read any sci-fi books but this one sounds fun. Dish sized spiders sound pretty scary. The problem with everyone not pulling their own weight sounds like a typical problem. Great review. Think I'll try it out. Thanks.

I love the idea of trying to settle on another planet. There are so many things that can go wrong. I especially like that even though they have so much advanced technology, they still needed to resort to old methods sometimes. This sounds like a great story! It's just too bad the editing needs so much work.

I like how people use their gift of mental picture to create a new space for living that turns out to be adventurous and fun. Good review, Thanks for sharing.

I'm not usually a science fiction fan but this review and the description of the book are very compelling! I also like that there's a mix of "low-tech" hunter-gatherer stuff mixed in with the futuristic aspects.

Despite the unavoidable errors recorded,The Si-fi serie seems outstanding! Giving the story line, where a group of volounteers take it upon themselves to seek external habitat. Survival in the new plannet becomes a challange, faced with horrible creatures among other challanges,leaves one thrilled by the occuring events. I am particularly impressed by the detailed Review. Great Job Done!

From Earth to Terra by Beverly Jenness is a well-crafted science fiction book that follows the adventure of a group who is led away from their home in order to save the human race and their way of living in their ideal planet.

I'm so sorry to hear about the extreme number of errors, but I admire your thorough review. It made me decide to pick this book up to read. Thanks for the recommendation.

Although this is not my genre of choice, I couldn't resist immediately downloading today's BOTD! The title caught my interest right away b/c Terra is my name, but spelled differently - Tara. :-) I've always been fascinated with how others live and survive in areas so different than my own. Too bad about the editing errors, though! Still, I think this might be one I will enjoy. Thank you for your insightful review! :-)

This book looks so intriguing. The destruction of this earth is something that's all in the back of our minds, and this book attacks the situation cleanly. I look forward to reading more about Amanda's journey.

The concept of the book sounds so unique and compelling. It's a shame that it would need a professional editor who could really help recraft the world-building and fix the grammar. It still might be worth a read, though.

Jenness is creative in weaving such incredible tale that is both fun and timely. The science is valid. The problems solved were believable. The descriptions of imagined creatures were well crafted. She builds the tension perfectly well. This will make a great movie. I recommend.

From the review, this book sounds like it has a lot going on. I do like reading different authors' takes on the end of the world and how they imagine it to be. It's a shame about the errors, I read a series once and throughout every book there was an error or 10 to be found, and it made me wonder, maybe I should apply for an editing job for these books lol. Anyway, good review, maybe I will give this one a read.

Thanks for the review! I normally do not like science fiction books. However, this one about relocating to a new planet seems very interesting! I will be reading this one. Hopefully the errors don't bother me too much.
