I LOVED this little book. It’s one of the fastest times I’ve fallen in love with the characters of a book. The sci-fi is memorable and creative, the social themes are spot on and bring a load to the story. With a ending that I at least throughly enjoyed. Even though the books very small the characters arcs are still beautiful and my only complaint is it wasn’t a 600 page book. It’s weird for me to say after 4 other Stephen King books this is my favorite and it’s not even horror but it’s true. I’m going to treasure this book a very long time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Was hoping this would be more fulfilling, but the concept is just too similar to me as Thinner by Richard Bachman (Stephen King)… I mean, I know its different overall, but I was looking for more originality. I guess it’s my fault for never reading the description before reading a book

I've been a Stephen King fan my whole life, but this book was just... bland. Bland, inoffensive stock characters. Bland, inoffensive storyline. I've read more compelling stories in an introductory creative writing course. Never before have I finished a book and had such a sense of "meh." I rated it two stars instead of one because there wasn't even anything to actively hate about it.

Despite my lower than usual rating, I actually really enjoyed this little guy! The reason for my -2 stars was really just that I went into it with a lot higher expectations than I should have. I’m not really sure what I was expecting? It’s a really straight-forward book.
