I was 120 pages in and ready to DNF it. I was wondering if there was going to be some more actions or if it was going to be Seth only trying to discover where he was. 

Thankfully the other characters appeared quickly after.

I enjoyed the story and the way the book is written. I felt sad for the characters. It is clearly a YA book but still enjoyable. 
 

Wish I had some answers about what the driver was and what happened to the characters after he died but otherwise solid story.

I struggled with the first 70 or so pages feeling slow or like not much was happening, but when the first of many plot twists occurred I couldn't put it down. Give it a chance.

"It was suddenly as if, for the briefest of moments, the burden had been lifted, like there was no gravity at all, like he had finally set down the heavy load he’d been carrying.. "
Hard to write a review of such a character oriented book. No surprise that I loved this book. Patrick Ness has a way of pulling you into the story every time. All the snipets of the past were so good even when it broke my heart. Love it

It was pretty dark - very similar to the Matrix. I thought it was going to be an analogy for the afterlife but it definitely wasn't. Read up on trigger warnings.

There were plenty of elements that I enjoyed about this book: suspense, general plot and tropes, the feeling of “more than this” that was provoked by wanting to know what happened next. A few things like character development (Tomasz’ english was a big one) could have been better for me. Overall a good read.
