I really enjoyed this but I fear it may have been a little over-hyped for me.
The start has early hints of "there is going to be a big change up" but they do a good job of hiding what that's going to be. The main character is not loveable at the beginning of the book but knowing how well received this book is I knew that was likely to change. The plot moved along at a good pace after the first 100 pages or so and the aliens help keep things interesting.
The far future world was well designed, if mostly just hinted at.
