See allAfter having read The Martian, I was really excited for this. I really REALLY wanted to like this book but I just didn't.
The main character is not likeable at all. She's a foul mouthed, slutty and self centred character. I don't feel like writing a woman's perspective is Andy's strong point. Even as a guy, I felt offended for women at the way Jazz is portrayed.
The plot of the book was ok I guess. Some exciting moments but I can't help but feel like you could have chopped most of the story out and ended up with the same outcome.
Fantastic book and much more upto speed with King's normal works. It's a much easier book to move onto after having read The Gunslinger and the character development is excellent. I found myself cringing, holding my breath and my palms sweating at points for each of the characters.
Well worth a read!
