Your long review explains how wonderful the story is! Well, sci-fi books are usually a bomb. Nice review.

Sci-fi is so much more than just the stereotypical content that you describe. It encompasses so much more. I can tell how much you enjoyed this one, and it does seem intriguing. I'll have to look into it further. Thanks.

Wow! It is clear that the author has done a excellent job when writing this book. Sci-Fi is a difficult genre to include the human factor, so I am very impressed. I am glad that you enjoyed the book and I will be sure to check it out! Thank you for a heart-felt and well-worded review. Keep up the good work.

Awesome. That's a totally fan-girl review. :) Read the first couple lines of your review and I am adding this book my bookshelf. The rest of the review was further confirmation. Thanks for the great review.

Contrary to what you wrote in the review, I really think you did the book justice! Your enthusiasm about it was crystal clear, and you did a great job in your review.

I must say, before this book, my views on sci-fi were rather skeptic and stereotypical. They are now considerably changed :)

Thank you :) For the compliment and for sticking through it :) There were so many things that I wanted to say and so many passages that I wanted to say that I just couldn't make it any shorter and feel like I've done any justice to it :) I hope this book - and the series that's coming up - will go viral! :)

Thank you for stopping by :)

Great review, I liked the honesty in the review and giving an early warning on the length.
