This was an okay read. Things were fun and intriguing but not anything I felt gripped to. Overall it was a good read but nothing spectacular

A good sci-fi novel, but a bit of a drag as a thriller. The last third was weakest. A little misogynistic at times.

A real page-turner, but not for me. Flat characters, too much violence, not enough thoughtful exploration of the mechanics of THE BOX or the philosophies for living a good life. Might be a good TV series but wouldn’t recommend.
