My husband and I read this book together aloud. I don’t have a lot to say about this one as I thought it was “good” but nothing exceptional. It was like those movies you see that last a little too long and have a few funny lines, but you don’t really want to see them again. I am surprised that this is on the Big Read list.
Having said that, it is obvious that I missed something—otherwise this would not be ranked so high on the top 100 list. I’m just not sure what that something is that I missed. I like sci-fi, but I don’t love it, so this may have served as an impediment to my enjoyment. I’m not sure. If anyone has an explanation as to what it is that I failed to “get” in this book, please explain.
If this book were a movie, I’d rate it: PG
Overall Grade: C-
Would I recommend this book to my friends? Maybe—after I ran out of other books to recommend.
