This one wasn't *quite* as much of a page turner for me as The Dry, but it also had a less disturbing premise, which made it a bit of an easier read, emotionally. I did get a little tired of watching the characters make bad decisions-- I told my husband at one point, "If I wanted to read about people being inept, I could have just read literary fiction."--but not quite to the level where it ruined my enjoyment of the book. By the time I got the last third or so, I stayed up late to finish it all in one go.
