I started it and had to set it aside for tour commitments, but I have to agree, it's definitely not as immediately immersive as the Newsflesh books. Hopefully you'll have better luck with those, or with a future book of hers.

I've started it several times, then stopped and gone to something else. I will eventually finish it. Hopefully the mood will strike me one day and I can fly through it. Thanks for your honest review.

I think Mira Grant is known for writing intense book with great sci fi premises, and I do love sci fi themed books, so this sounds very appealing :) I'm glad that even though the sci fi parts didn't blow you away, you enjoyed this one enough to give it 3 stars!

SciFi is a genre that's hugely hit or miss with me, and it usually misses when the science behind it, while no doubt impressive, goes right over my head and I just can't connect to the story at all. I'm glad it picked up toward the end for you though Ali!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472726634139621642.post-30449416742770724362013-10-07T06:54:13.978-06:002013-10-07T06:54:13.978-06:00I hope you like it Tanja!I hope you like it Tanja!Kindlemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084577342034704304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472726634139621642.post-12009655020315746132013-10-07T02:02:23.651-06:002013-10-07T02:02:23.651-06:00Honestly I have seen a lot of fuss around this one...Honestly I have seen a lot of fuss around this one but I wasn't sure. Usually when the plot starts too confusing I love to discover what happens, so I should really give this one a try.
