The story really picks up at the halfway mark with the tension ratcheting up quickly. With this said, I still enjoyed the first half of the book and the characterization it offers. I did find the gore at the end to be a little over the top, but it didn't hugely take away from my enjoyment.

I randomly picked it out from my library only knowing it was science fiction. Loved the structure.
I really loved how the relationship between Katie and Dan changed over the course of the events unfolding and
There were only a few things I didn't love: I found some of the parts, especially parts where a lot of stuff was happening, difficult to visualize,

If you're looking for an engaging, character driven, maddening, furious, vivid and at times horrific depiction of the human condition under impossible odds, I beg you to give this a listen!

I do agree that for such a short book it has a slow start and took a while to get to the horror and gore, but once we got there we were into it and didn't want to put it down. We read in tandem with the audiobook and that was done masterfully as well with all the different narrators (love Nathan Fillion!).

Additionally, the author seems to espouse certain conservative convictions throughout the book, which is fine, but not my cup of tea.
