My favourite part is the anonymous scientist who entered a mistake in the code and saved the world. He worked in the shadows and made only a few appearances in the book, but at the end of the story he is the real hero. However, no one knows that, not even he himself, because all he really wants is to live in peace with his family and he doesn't care about being acknoledged as a hero. It's my favourite part of the book because there really are people like that in the world, who are true heros but we don't know about them because they don't care about being known, and I felt that this book appriciates them by this part.
My least favourite part is the relationship between Tom and Kelly. Everything about them just felt very forced and artificial to me.

I haven't read the book. I can't get past the cover and the name. A rocket ship and an Electro Magnetic Honeymoon??? I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover but... So I guess my least favorite thing would be the cover.

I can’t say I have a favorite part..it wasn’t really very good in my opinion. I really liked the detail when general Lee was describing the girl pouring his tea. That part had more descriptions than any other part of the book and it really put me in the scene with him.

I haven’t read the book but the cover is my least favorite part. It looks unprofessionally done and makes me not want to give the book a chance. If effort can’t be put into the cover I feel like the story will be the same. I feel like the title and cover is something that will turn away many readers.

I didn't really enjoy the book. I thought it was shallow and superficial. She tried to make strong female characters but goodness, surely real Senate Investigators are smarter than that. A lot of things were left unresolved but my least favorite was that Kelly was apparently sick but nothing ever came of it, and it wasn't related to the plot. I didn't want to hear about whatever Tom asked Kelly about after their night that was so great for him: "Are you sore?" Gross.

I like the part where Kim Tung lo planed his getaway it had a good flair to his scheme and that he fixed his part of the project not to work.

This really was a cool part of the plot in the book. The unsung hero.

Overall, the book was very involving. My best parts are in the last pages of the book, I like how everything was resolved in the end

I like the way the characters are well built. It is easy to relate with each of them. Again, just when you think you have known a character, he turns around and does the unexpected.

I'm halfway through the book and while I find the book interesting, the constant title-heads are disrupting my reading experience. They're mostly unnecessary.

My favourite part was the talk show interview, the science aspects of the book were handled quite well and it was fairly interesting. My least favourite parts were probably the goofier moments between Team USA, such as when they all broke out singing. While there had been bits of levity, the main tone of the story had been generally serious, so it was odd seeing people who are supposed to be trained agents acting like kids at times

The action part of this book was more interesting to me. I actually was not into the romance section of this book.

My least favorite was the chilling nature of the characters in a time of danger. I would be happier to see the character be more serious in times of crisis than to show their chilling nature. The most favorite was the fear of the enemy commander. This character gives me goosebumps. I liked his cruelty and tyrant role a lot.
