It was fine. Writing is rather bland. I didn't feel any excitement or nerves reading the book. Disappointing tbh. I thought it might have been because I saw the movie first, but someone else said his writing is bland and stilted so I don't think it's just me.

Heavy with the science lingo and explanations, but once you get past that it's incredibly interesting and intense, especially at the end. I enjoyed the characters and the anthropology/ancient civilization aspect.

Enjoyed til the last 6%. Hated the ending a lot and it felt rushed, I want to give it 0 stars because of that, but it was well written until that point.
