It was a recent read for a book club I'm in. Overall, I think we had it about 3.5/5.
I very generally liked it, I enjoyed parts of it. BUT... It seemed like many reviews had "science thriller!" in some form as part of the review, and there were a pretty good number of plot holes and bad science-y stuff for something I'm supposed to enjoy on its technical merits... It's fine it relies on the fantasy as much as the science, but the reviews were off the mark for what it is.  Previous Message
The first half of the book I was mostly enjoying it, but the science was mostly shallow and the repetitiveness of the 2nd half dropped it down to a 3* and it just bug me to think about it.
Though it doesn't bug me as much as Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow.
