Reading this book made me picture it being made as a movie or tv show. Very cool concept and plot. 

The concept of this book was very interesting. I can appreciate the amount of research it took to write this book. The story was interesting, but it was very heavy on the science; maybe a little too much science for me personally. Now I know that you can put a message in someone's genetic code, so that's a fun fact for you. Blake Crouch must read weird scientific studies to get his inspiration, but I'm here for it.

This was fun and fast paced but the writing was a little clunky. I will probably continue to read Blake Crouch’s books, they are definitely fun.

A relentless sci fi thriller! This is the kind of book that becomes the kind of movie Tom Cruise stars in. Loved it!

The book felt extremely relevant, in a scary way. I rated it a bit lower just because I felt disconnected from most of the characters (might have been the whole point, honestly). The science in Crouch's books is always so interesting to me, and this one wants me to take another genetics class.
