edacious_bookworm 's review for:
Illuminae
by Jay Kristoff, Amie Kaufman
So I will admit that I did not read this book in full; I read a good portion of the book and skimmed until the end. I found the proposed plot intriguing and the style of the book very radical.
However that unique style also caused a couple of problems for me. One it was very hard to read at the beginning--where there are tons of side information all over the page and place (a little overwhelming). Two, since I struggled to get into a smooth reading rhythm, it took me awhile to care about the characters (enough to want to know how it ends).
Perhaps I will tackle this book again after a few months, but I do applaud the efforts of the authors in thinking outside of the box.
