this is a slow read, but it's good.

I have never been inclined to read David Copperfield, but I think this is probably better anyways. Barbara Kingsolver is brilliant, and I am lucky to exist at the same time as her, because, geez louise, the woman can write! I can appreciate the value of Dickens on literature, but the serials are not for me. Kingsolver, however, I would read her grocery list if she gave it to me.

this feels like a reading rut starter pack of a book. it's too early for a reading rut.

I don't typically write in-progress thoughts about books, maybe because I go through them quick, but also because I try to go in blind and not hypothesize about where the story is going. I'm so particular about the sci-fi that I read (and enjoy), and this one is just Crichton-esque enough that I'm really into it, really attached. I think I know where the story is going, and I am already feeling some kind of way...

I don't typically write in-progress thoughts, but this book has me.... feeling a certain type of way. I'm very particular about the sci-fi books that capture me. I want a Crichton-esque story that feels real and meaningful. In some ways, I can see where the story is heading but also I'm so attached to the main characters and I want so much for them.
I want to know if the author has read Sea of Tranquility?
