Illuminae

This book started out really great. It was interesting and appeared to have a unique format and plot. Then about 25% through the book. It got really confusing and weird. I think there were plot holes but I honestly couldn't tell you because it was so hard to follow. The people texting back and forth had horrible grammar and it was so hard to comprehend who was who and what was happening. The ending made absolutely no sense and the random plot-twist was so out of the blue. I would not recommend. Very poorly written. The only thing I can say is that they put a lot of effort into the random extra stuff.

madness in many colors.

i remembered this being good, but not this good. it's super rare a book can make me cry these days, but i was gripped until the very end with tears stinging my eyes, even if i had an inkling of a memory of how it ended.
sci-fi for people who don't, or feel like they can't, read sci-fi, and incredibly engrossing.
