What a book. I couldn't put this book it was so exciting. Even the parts that shouldn't be exciting are exciting. Scalzi has done it again. The writing is excellent. Scalzi in his acknowledgements says this book is like a pop song and I love his choice of analogy.

CAWPILECharacters.The characters are amazing in this book. Most if not all seem 100% fleshed out. The interactions between characters is some of the most real especially between Jamie and Rob Sanders and between Jamie and the other NewcomersAtmosphereThe book really engages you in the new world and Scalzi competently uses multiple senses to give you a true feel of the worldWritingGreat writing. Economical, but gets everything across without being stingy. Lots and lots of references. I'm sure I missed some of the ones that were explicitly called outPlotThe Plot is good, took a little bit to get to the main plot, but I couldn't help but rush forward to the end, because of how engaging the mini first plot was.InvestmentLiterally had a hard time putting this book down. Once I started Scalzi sucked me in and I couldn't stop.LogicI loved how Scalzi used the sciences to his advantage, that while everything can't be 100% true to science as we understand it, he does a great job of changing just what is essential while leaving the rest. I also appreciated Scalzi explaining many of the science things that I had no idea what they were.EnjoymentI so enjoyed this book. Again had a very hard time putting the book down.Loved when Jamie took Rob down the ground floor and scared him, also when Rob died. So many other good scenes if I was to name them all it'd be the whole book. The doctor scene near the beginning was great though.
I will be talking about it on Libromancy https://libromancy.podbean.com/
