There are some twists in this book so I don’t think I should say much about the story here – but I did like the initial premise and then started to like it less the further along the story went.
The writing here is quite good – sort of like getting into someone’s head and hearing their thinking process (not unlike The Martian by Andy Weir). There are some contemporary references, and even some American racial issues that didn’t seem to fit in to me. Finally I felt like the author was throwing things in and the ending sort of dragged for me.
But the initial thrill of the situation that the main character finds himself in was great – in the future I’ll be looking for books that follow a lead-in like that.
Next I’m reading This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub.
