I want to start with saying that the formatting of this book is incredibly unique and really fits the story. Because of the formatting the story is mostly plot focussed instead of character focused which I usually prefer. 

The plot is interesting and because of the information given you get dared to think about and combine given information yourself. There were some plot points I did not per se anticipate but did match up with what was given. 

A great sci-fi which doesn’t shy away from the gruesome details of war, pandemics and additional human interactions which aren’t sugar coated.
