Pretty good, easy read, but also pretty formulaic. Brilliant man struggles alone with problem only he can solve, struggling to get back to his one-dimensional one true love.......

Still really good and tense after all these years! Keeping to my rating system (five stars = really liked it and would read it again) is a little harder this time because I'm realizing a few things I didn't love, but I think I'll keep it where it is for now.

Clever and somewhat mind-blowing. But the writing didn’t knock me out and the whole thing felt gimmicky…. At least it was a fast and easy read (because the author loves short sentences.)

I’m not usually a big sci-fi fan but this was a love story at its core. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time…and even when I hoped for a moment to rest from the chase of this story, the chase just kept going. I stayed up way too late to finish in one day to find out how it ended. Great read!

I think I’m now a sci fi girlie. 
This story was fantastic, had me on the edge of my seat at all points. I loved the way Blake portrayed choices in a scientific matter and the emotional pivots this book took. Jason did annoy me a lot but I found him very compelling most of the time.
