Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it. I listened to it versus read it which gave it a performance feel and got me very interested. This was my first Wendig novel as well and I jive with his writing style quite a lot. Occasionally I felt like there were too many similes and too much description. I agree with other reviewers that the middle dragged on a bit with scenes that I found myself mentally editing out of the book. He absolutely could have gotten to the point much more quickly. All that aside, I still loved this book!
