I finished it. Meh. Presentation was fun and different. But it moved too slow for me.
One of the most impactful, jarring people who has ever entered my life was a sci fi reader to the core. This person and I were made of the same molecules; however, I always refused to read sci fi. REFUSED. Sadly, said person is no longer in my life, but hey, you, if you're out there: my new fucking FAVORITE BOOK IN THE WORLD IS A SCI FI BOOK. YOU WERE RIGHT, JACKASS.
Woah. Like, seriously. Woah. There were so many good things about that book. The format was super-interesting and the descriptions were gruesome enough to do the brutality justice but not enough to make you want to quit reading. It sucked me in entirely. It was funny in the right places and intense in pretty much all of the others. A little slow at the beginning, but not for long because then things go down. In silent explosions. At one point, I thought to myself, "this is Star Wars in book form," which it is, but with less aliens and more diseases-that-turn-you-into-a-psychopath. And much more intense. Honestly, I'm racking my brains and I can't come up with any complaints. Awesome.

The Full cast audio was excellent with sound effects and great acting. The plot moves quickly with the nature of how information is shared. Definitely riveting and well described, could easily see this a cinematic adaptation.
