This book probably deserves another star but I'll explain why I only gave it three.
The first reason is one I come across often. There are just too many spelling and grammatical errors - not so many that the book couldn't be read properly but enough to take notice. It is bothersome to those of us who were brought up before computers ruled. Before spellcheck and texting were dreamt of. When part of the curriculum in school involved reading and being able to pick out the errors and losing marks for being wrong. If I were twenty, the author would probably have this additional star but unfortunately for the author and myself, I'm not.
The second reason is one specific to me. There are an amazing amount of books these days that call themselves sci-fi but they are fluff with a bit of science sprinkled in. This story is what I consider to be a true science fiction. If you took out the science, there would not be a story...and this was a good story, packed with science fiction but for whatever reason I just didn't love it. I'm still trying to understand why. It even had a fantastic twist at the end I never saw coming, a revelation to the characters and to the readers, but it still wasn't enough. As I said before, this issue is specific to me and I'm certain a lot of people will love this book. In fact, regardless of me giving only three stars, I would recommend reading it.

This was really enjoyable, but the grammatical and spelling errors detracted from the story. If you don't mind them, it is worth a read.
