I think this book would work better as a movie. I had a hard time paying attention and had to restart the book several times before I felt hooked enough to keep going.

Phenomenal book. This had me enthralled from the first to last page. The characters, the writing, the plot, all amazing. I loved it so much and it made me feel so anxious and made me cry.

I laughed, I cried (I’m still crying after finishing the book) I was on the edge of my seat and I felt all the emotions humans can experience 

This is so much better than TJ Newman’s other book falling.

This author really takes the time to do a lot of research for her novels. The engineering and scientific facts about the rescue effort are impressive and really kept the book interesting while also informative. Would be a fantastic movie.
