This book was so, so, SO good! It was super creepy and mysterious and engrossing at the same time. There were a few parts of the book that were freaking me out but I couldn't stop reading because I needed to know what happened next. The only negative thing I have to say is the love interest between two characters seemed forced and unnecessary.
Overall, this book is a great read and I definitely recommend it!

Well. I'm terrified now. Holy crap. I enjoyed this book, but I feel like the ending kind of went nowhere and the translation was a little odd; hence why I only gave it 2 out of 5 stars. HOWEVER, I definitely still recommend that you check it out. It was unlike anything I've ever read.
Actual rating 4.5
Holy frigging crap. This book is terrifying and suspenseful and unbeleiveable. The only thing is that it has a slow start. Other than that, it's amazing!

The Best Book I've Read So Far This Year. A Mixture Of Mystery And Horror, I Was On The Edge Of My Seat The Entire Time. Loved It.
Three teenagers (from Norway, Japan, and France) win a NASA lottery to spend one week on the moon. When they get there, things immediately start to go wrong. The premise of this book didn't make a lot of sense, but there were some very fun creepy scenes, and I liked the way Harstad dipped into characters across the world to give the novel a global feel (I particularly enjoyed the custodian in the nursing home -- his scenes were very effective in ramping up the creepiness).
It is really difficult to rate this novel. I didn't like the characters at all - they were such stereotypes and I didn't care for the love story. The decisions of the adult characters were strange from time to time and I kept thinking "Who would do that?".
But I did like the horror story (sadly the creepy part only really started during the last 100 pages). I could really imagine this book as a horror film.

Great sci-fi thriller with just enough horror elements. The ending left plenty of room for a sequel
This book is astonishingly bad. At first, I just thought maybe it was a bad translation. Nope. It really is terrible. Preposterous premise populated with flat characters and riddled with inaccuracies. Honestly, the only reason I made it to the end of the story was I was listening to it at work (I listen to a lot of audiobooks at work) and it was the only thing I had to listen to.
