![]() ![]() Though, really - the biggest problem with this book is that it reads like a good movie, and not necessarily a good book. Characters come in and are dropped just as quickly. While the surrounding characters are interesting and well-written, we don't get to see enough of them. This book, at +/- 350 pages would have been better if it were longer. ![]() That said, there are some bad parts as well. ![]() The fact that this book is science fiction is almost a coincidental thing - more than that, it's a good mystery and an exciting read with lots of different well-written parts, like: a plot worth spending time on, and a mystery you're interested in finding more about a main character you're both interested in and root for, and surrounding characters that you're interested in and that complement the story scary parts of the book that are terrifying thoughts more than bloody depictions of violence and gore interesting discussion of religion without going overboard about it, and discussion of other "big ideas". While reading the book, the thought that this would make a splendid movie was omnipresent. This has been my favorite science fiction book I've read, at the very least, in the last 6 months. ![]()
