I watched the TV series before reading the book. I typically do it the other way around. It was interesting to see the differences, but the overall storyline was faithful to the book. The science was decent, which was nice. It was a page-turner, and I will likely read the next book in the series.

DNF- I was intrigued, because it’s read so well. It’s good, probably. However, I was overwhelmed by how many books there are, and I figured it was a huge commitment. Also though, I rarely read books written by men anymore, and I gotta say I’m intolerant of even a little misogyny from characters at this point. So, I gotta pass.

Funny, heartfelt, suspenseful, and utterly unexpected in many ways. I was recommended this book by a friend and was not disappointed. While I definitely found myself more attached to some characters than others, I really enjoyed all of the cast.

I don't typically care too much for science fiction but this was enjoyably straight forward and did none of the things that usually annoy me about science fiction
