Pretty good
Interesting storyline and concept.
The ending left me a bit cold and I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, but worth buying.

exciting, mysterious and a thriller
this audiobook was very well narrated, a voice suited to a story told by a 16 year old.
the story was thrilling, a little chilling at times, but an all round success suited to teens (and adults who enjoy a lighter tale every now and then!)
some of the story felt a bit obvious or familiar (other tv/movies/books) but in all a very exciting story, as I've learnt to expect from Matthew Reilly.

Not his usual, but still good.
For anyone who did not grow up amidst the cackle of super bitchy school girls, a lot of the dialogue in the background setting was tiresome and grating. But I guess it was also necessary for both character and plot development. (Although that may not ring true until mostly into the story). Very interesting premise. Well developed plot. I could see this as a movie as I listened. Top marks for the narration; really well done.

Not your average book
Fantastic, fast paced storyline you don't want to stop.
Narration was excellent. Some voices maybe a bit similar but overall very well read.

Different but still great
I found this book to have a different theme to his usual style, aimed more towards teens and young adults. I happen to love this genre so thoroughly enjoyed it. I,d recommend this author to any age.

Rollercoaster
Outside the square futuristic novel with cool twists and turns.,it’s no Jack West, but just as brilliant in different ways.,I really dig the thought process invested in the storytelling.

Entertaining
Intriguing concept and story. Matthew is getting better at fiction writing without unbelievability. His books are always entertaining nonetheless.

Enjoyable but ?
while I enjoyed this book I really think that it is very youth oriented.
I think Skye is a great character and look forward to another book with her maybe when she's older.
I hated the narration squeaky, grinding and irritating.
