Quick read. I can't believe they kept this guy alive for basically a science experiment. This could be the most terrifying and excruciating way to die. Absolutely frightening.
The book was interesting for the most part. There were times when the author went into a little too much detail and it became boring. But, overall I enjoyed the book.
DNF-So, I'm not sure what book the rest of you were reading but this book was terrible. I saw the Netflix series and decided to read the book because I loved the show! This is the first time in history the show is better than the book. I'll be honest, I made it to page 102 of 172 and stopped. Literally, not one thing happened in that 102 pages. Basically just bad dialogue. It took me a month to get to page 102 because I was so bored I never wanted to pick the book up. Finally, I just gave up! Seriously, just watch the show- that was amazing.
Where to even start? I read this book at the recommendation of my Dad. He had read it years ago and wanted to read it again. He explained the premise and it seemed interesting so I checked it out on Libby.
The first 20% of the book I liked, the world building was crazy. Even though it was tedious to read I was still interested.
Then the next 60% of the book I was bored to tears. I wanted to keep reading it because my dad liked it so much. I was so bored from the tedious writing. Every time the book started getting to the point it was set back 50 steps because of some danger lurking. I was like FOR THE LOVE OF GOT JUST GET TO THE SHIP!! I resorted to doing text to speech on my kindle app while I did other things just to make it through.
Then the final 20% of this book I WAS HOOKED!!!! The last 20% was the best part of the entire book, I loved the ending, I really love how things were explained and loose ends were tied up in a little bow. I felt it was a happy ending.
So, In the end I am giving it 3 stars because, although I loved the ending, that middle 60% was actual torture to get through.
In the end I am glad I read it.
