What an excellent book! It's a topic that seems to fit quite well with 2020 as a whole... the possible ways in which the universe will end (and there's no doubt that it will end, eventually). The science is presented in a way that is easily understood regardless of your background knowledge, with very clear explanations of some very funky concepts! Katie also has a great sense of humour that shines through and makes this book a pleasure to read.
I tried, but I just couldn't get into this one. The concept is fascinating, but the execution? Fairly typical for King, overly long prose in a lot of places.
This is a strange, strange book, set in a strange, strange version of our world. But strange as it is, it is completely compelling. It tells the story of a government organisation trying to protect the world, but doomed to ultimate failure. It can be described as Lovecraft-inspired dark horror. Well worth the read.
At first I wasn't sure about this one, it had a strange approach in the language and tone used. But as I kept reading, it really drew me in to a complicated but understandable world.
It did not end the way I thought it would, but the ending fits.
