I bought the book inadvertently, because I mistook an ad for a recommendation. To be frank, this book sucks. The characters are flat sterotypes, the story is ridiculously boring, the cliffhanger at the end just a pain. If I ever read the words "I, Darren..." again, I`ll have to kill somenody. I only the finished the book, because i always do. And finishing this was quite annoying. I dont get the current hype. This is neither good sci-fi nor a good read at all and doesn´t deserve to be shortlisted here. Dont know why, but it reminds me of 50 shades of grey...
