This was pretty entertaining and fast paced. It never lost its momentum. An Buddy read with some awesome people at Buddies Books and Baubles
4 STARS
This was pretty entertaining and fast paced. It never lost its momentum. And yet something faltered in the story towards the end and I was left feeling a bit dissatisfied. Can't quite put my finger on what and why. May be it was the way too many cool/creepy ideas were thrown into the mix in the last third of the book and almost none of them reached their full potential or were developed even a bit. There are a lot of clues this may not be the last we see from this world and Mike. I really hope we'll get more answers in future books/stories. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars although they are not very strong.
Still, this is a solid sci-fi thriller with bits of horror and even a dash of romance. Highly recommended to sci-fi geeks with love for cool modern culture references. Full review may come at some point.

This is my first Clines although I have 14 on my TBR list. Having in mind the synopsis and the first impressions of my friends who have already started yesterday(yes, I'm late as usual), I have great expectations for this one.
Also, I love the audio narrator Ray Porter. Let's dive in! ...more
An interesting and meaningful idea in the confined space of a hundred words. What else to expect from Susan Ee?! Brilliance!

Initial thoughts after finishing
Ugh! I'm done with this twisted, crazy, brilliant book! And I really don't know how to rate it. It doesn't feel right to give it 5 stars(though it probably deserves it in many ways) because I hate so many things/people/whatnot in it. And although the ending is perfectly satisfying, it doesn't feel this way for me, too. On the other hand, I can't give something below 4 stars either. So it's gonna be in between. Tough choice! Probably sleeping on it will help. Probably! To be continued ......more
