A very compelling and interesting story with a bit of a Dune-esque element. It kept your attention throughout and though I'm not sure if I liked the ending or not. Otherwise it was quite enjoyable.
Simply Fantastic. It's one of those books that you'll be thinking about for long after you've read it. The author describes this on his blog as Lord of the Flies meets Alien. I don't know how much I agree with the alien part but it definitely is very similar to Lord of the Flies. Except, while not a huge fan of Lord of the Flies, I absolutely loved this book.
I love Hugh Howey, and although this was a bit of a departure from his other works, and definitely more YA, I enjoyed it very much. Great main character, as always!
Interesting premise and plot, as well as interesting world-building, but this somehow felt more like a halfway-fleshed-out thought experiment than a book. It could have either been shorter and more compressed of a story, or a longer more in depth exploration, but the length it is just felt a little unsatisfying.
