What I Didn’t Like:

There’s a sense of “too much” from the events of this one. Sort of an “everything that can go wrong” vibe. That’s intentional, but take it as a content warning if you don’t like that.
There are some minor characters who are in the beginning, disappear for a while, and then pop back in. This can make it hard to remember who they are or how they relate to the story.
Don’t get confused because of what Patterson is known for, this is a YA science fiction story.

Right away you’re dropped into a situation where strange things are happening. You realize it’s strange and it really sets the tone well for the book.
Maggie is a great character. Good voice, good background, and a heavy dose of intelligence to back her up.
The story moves fast. You don’t have any time to lose interest or get bored, too much is happening for that. There’s a lot of events and action packed into this one.

Fans of other dystopian style yet modern Scifi.
Readers who like fast moving books and want to try a sort of modern dystopian, this one is well done.
