I read SciFi. Lots of it. However, unlike most people I started this with zero expectations. I have had a copy of it for almost 2.5 weeks, but didn't start reading it right away.

So, when I started it, I'd forgotten why I even had it in the first place. So I started it.

Almost 3-3.5 hours later, I was still reading. I was nearing halfway, and didn't want the book to end. I slept off. I didn't pick it up the next day, because I knew I'll get sucked right in and won't be able to get anything else done.

So yeah: awesome book. Hits the perfect spot between gritty-hard scifi, and the pop scifi. (I've skipped [b:Rendezvous with Rama|112537|Rendezvous with Rama (Rama, #1)|Arthur C. Clarke|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1405456427s/112537.jpg|1882772] mid-read because it was a bit too hard for me). Sure there might be some inaccuracies, or somethings that went straight over my head, but the writing is really good and it makes up for everything else.

My verdict: Go read it. Especially if you liked Gravity.

Aside: Just found out that Matt Damon has been signed up for the lead role. I liked him in his astronaut role in Interstellar, and can't wait to see this in theaters.
