I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a nice, quick read full of action. The concept was very creative and not like anything I have read before. Matthew Reilly did a good job of painting a picture of rich kid drama and the rich lives of New York. It's seriously a whole other world. Definitely more of a young adult fiction novel,  but if you're into a bit of time-travel, apocalyptic vibes then you will probably enjoy it. 
Note that there are some trigger warnings for mental health, self harm and racism.
