eduardoandgo's review against another edition

I feel kind of weird about this book. I watched the movie first, didn't particularly enjoy it, and for the majority of the book I felt the same way. There's too much overlap from book and movie (generally a good thing, maybe) that I can't distinguish my feels about the writing with the scenes in the movie. I definitely liked the use of quotation marks and lack of them in this, as they give you some insight; I actually loved that and smiled when I realized what was happening. I think I did like the writing, the plot, the characters. I do like the sci-fi element of this novel.

 This was definitely Black Mirror-lite but Reid's command of atmosphere is incomparable.
