Apologies for the influx in reviews but I'm bored and thinking.
 
Overall I like this series I love it in fact and couldn't put the first few books down.

But Evelyn oh, Evelyn (Sorry for possible misspellings)

The book prior to this she was cold, hard and I suppose she had reason to be.

It was still enjoyable.

This book was even more so at first.

But the twist near the end really tore me from this beautifully constructed, utterly engaging world.

I think I prefer America's journey to hers but I still recommend the series

Predictable (0 more)
I typically don't read books like this, and I'm not a big believer in the one anyway. But, I wanted to give it a try, because the synopsis made it sound interesting.
There are five different stories contained within this novel. It was engaging, and I always like a sci-fi story that's not too fantastical. The stories were all interesting in different ways, but some of the characters are incredibly stupid.
While I did like this novel, I thought it was super predictable. I knew how the majority of the stories were going to end about mid-way through. I'm still glad I got out of my comfort zone and read something I wouldn't normally read.

Movie Rating Watch
Entertaining while watching, completely forgettable afterwards.
This is your standard Cold War spy movie with a non-linear time line. I know this film was supposed to be released last year, but Lionsgate pushed it back because of allegations against Luc Beeson. The cast did zero promotional appearances, and I maybe saw the trailer twice.
I went because a) I like seeing women kick some ass and 2) Luke Evans and Cillian Murphy. I did truly find it engaging while I was watching it, it definitely held my attention. But then, a day later, I almost completely forgot about it. Which, is not a good thing. I even had it rated higher right after the movie.

The writer draws you in from the first page and writes in such a way that you can not stop reading. (1 more)
He is well ahead of his time and includes many scientific facts that were not very popular during that time.
It can be difficult to understand at times, but the writer describes everything extremely well, so no need to worry. (0 more)
Incredibly engaging
I am a huge fan of both the author and the book, it's such a fun and interesting read and the books grabs your attention from the first paragraph.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys, science, adventure and anything that would be seen as fantasy or out of this world.
