This was an edge of the seat roller coaster ride of a story. It was exactly like you were watching a horror movie, and yes it was a lot like one that I have seen in the past. But I liked the way the author pulled in some kind of current event things, like the really rich guy who was funding lots of science things, everyone obviously knows who that is supposed to be like in real life. The climate change issues for why those people went to be a part of this. I also like the way it left the end of the story with questions, and who we thought was kind of our main protagonist possibly being dead? And like any good horror movie looking to create a franchise, it left definite openings for that. Not that I think it would have a sequel to the book, just that it left it the way any of those really good movies leave it. Definitely a good one!
