Loved it. I was going to say I can't believe it took me this long to get to this one, but who am I kidding? My physical TBR is out of hand, and there are so many bound-to-be-great books coming out every month. What the hell. I buy a book and it sits on my shelf for weeks, months, YEARS. Ugh. All that said, I'm happy I finally got around to this one. It was thoroughly entertaining. I could hardly put it down even though I was reading it while training for karate tournaments and recovering from being punched in the head...I had to put it down to sleep, but other than that!!! Couldn't put it down :)

There was a lot of math and science; my husband would love it, but he's not a reader. I'm going to try to bully him into reading this one, but I'm not expecting to succeed. Anyway, you don't need to understand it all for this story to grab you by the balls. It's one of those end-of-the-world, 'we need a space mission to save us', stories, and the adventure is real. I loved the humour and the characters. I don't need to say more, this book has been hyped. If you've been putting it off, not convinced it would live up to said hype, give it a go.
