I just finished this one this morning, and I actually really enjoyed it. Has anyone else read it yet?

Just finished this one. READ IT! I love the writing. I love the nail-biting story. Heck! I love the math. This one is a great read for teens as well as adults.
I will join the chorus and say I loved this one too, somewhat unexpectedly! What an awesome story for demonstrating "real life" science, and how math can be a page turner. I also never thought I would chuckle so much at a science fiction book!
This is the only book, aside from the Harry Potter series or the Ender series, that I have re-read, and probably the only one that I've ever re-read within a month of the first time I read it. It was just as good the second time, even if I knew how it would end.
