I didn't want to stop reading it. Every time I had to put it down to do something else I got annoyed. I got annoyed when I turned my Kindle on and it took goddamn ten minutes to actually load it (after downloading it again WTF how many times do I have to download this thing, Amazon?) I loved Rx (I reread it every so often) and loved his writing on Cracked and love his 1-900-Hotdog stuff and I loved this too. His writing is compelling and appealing and his characters are human and sympathetic and the situations they're in are tense and vividly rendered and made me for-real anxious. There is gore and body horror and peril so well and thoroughly described that I've seen reviewers complain about it like it's a movie they don't want their kids to see. You like the characters, you hate the characters, you hold your breath while characters try and fail and succeed at escaping danger. If you like the storytelling style of World War Z and like zombie survival horror with a twist (no undead here, not exactly) and cosmic horror, read this. If you get nervous at us sending signals out to the unknown depths of space and worry about what might answer (especially if you suspect that's why we're not getting signals from elsewhere, that any extraterrestrial life out there refrains from sending signals out for a reason) read this. Just read this, if you hate it you can come back and yell at me.
