Just can’t get into it. Have zero desire to pick it up again.

Although the end felt a little bit rushed, it was a nice find-your-way-home story. It had the feel of an epic while still feeling isolated. Good bad guys and inventive critters & environments.

Quasi-entertaining. Not really an interesting story to hold your attention, but short!

This was Lord of the Flies, but on another planet and with artificial intelligence.

Half Way Home is the story about our world trying to reach out and claim planets for their resources and the price someone is willing to pay to make money. When fifteen year old Porter is awakened 15 years earlier than he should have he realizes that their being saved was a decision the AI made after it discovered something on the planet that at first was deemed nonviable. With only a fraction of the 500 member crew surviving it's up to him and his group of companions to decide if fate will destroy them all of if they have the strength to create their own future on this planet.
I thought that this was a great story, it was a quick read, the characters were well developed and the story line unique. The book was originally published in 2010 so I am guessing there won't be a follow up though the story did end with what could be a great series. It was a good story on it's own as well. A good choice for readers of Andy Weir.
