I am an avid reader of fiction. Nonfiction puts me to sleep mostly.

Science fiction and fantasy are my jam, but I am willing to give any genre a shot.

Cold People

I feel like the ending of this book was a bit rushed, and am really hoping for a sequel, but I could not put this book down.

I started and finished it today and will probably add it to my list of books I reread every few years.

It didn't grab me right away, but at about the 40% mark of this book, I was unable to put it down. I'm unqualified of course, but it sounds like the author did his homework with the science of this story, which I always appreciate.

I am new to Daniel Suarez but, after two books, I am enjoying what I've read.
