Good, but not great. Really annoying narrator. Released today and it might be a dud. At the time of release, I am sure the concept and the detail blew everyone's mind. Now, it just seems like a geology and palentology research paper with a story attached.
I thought it was okay. I skimmed a lot of it when it got too focused on the geology stuff, though. I half expected the book to end up showing that they were just travelling in circles. The fact that they actually went a significant distance surprised me.
I thought the geology stuff was a little interesting, but, as mentioned in my post above, it was presented as too much of research paper and not a riveting plot point. But, I am thinking that maybe at the time this was written having all that information in the book may have blown the minds of the readers!
