This has been on my list for a while especially with the movie coming out. One of my favourite actors, favourite director, AND my favourite genre?! The bar was high to say the least and it did not disappoint. I feel like I can let out my sigh of relief. 

This book was what I call grounded science fiction. It’s in a world that we are familiar with, and while not earth it wasn’t the main part of the story. There was enough science fiction to be informative, make you curious, but not take you out of the plot. 

The back and forth between the Mickeys and other characters was so visceral, I could see it. No wonder it’s being made into a movie. The sarcasm, the gall, the audacity in this book is everything and it’s definitely a new favourite.
