When i first finished this book I gave it 3.75 starts but after a while of reflecting I downgraded it to 3. There are a lot of issues with this book but i actually think it would be a great movie. The writing was pretty bad, which is uncharacteristic of Adrian McKinty I hear. The plot itself was intriguing and intense.

I’ve never been a book reader, because they’ve never kept me engaged. BUT this book was absolutely amazing. It kept me wanting to finish, once I started, I couldn’t stop. 
As terrible as the scenario is, this was a fantastic book.

Such an absolutely wild concept but overall really good. The beginning was a bit slow but the more I read the more I couldn’t put it down

the plot was interesting and some of the characters were fine (minus the cartoon-esque villains) but nothing Hooked me, really. I did like how they kept bringing up stranger things though. I bet kylie loves nancy wheeler

Really interesting premise, and it’s definitely a moral dilemma that gets you thinking. It sparked some interesting conversations in my house. I’m glad that they didn’t gloss over the trauma this whole experience would cause the young girl in the story, that felt realistic. I did not enjoy the love interest or the addiction subplot. Overall interesting premise, but I felt like the second half of the book lacked the same adrenaline rush of the first part.
