3.5Creepy, fun, and an addicting read. While I really liked this, and had fun with it, the ridiculousness of the premise and the plot holes make it impossible for me to rate it higher. It's a diverting and entertaining read, one that builds tension quite well as it progresses. I was creeped out seve...

Can also be read on The Social Potato.In space, no one can hear you scream.*shiver*Thirty minutes after finishing this novel, I still feel the chills running down my spine. I've always loved space, y'know? I grew up in the countryside where I could get a clear view of the stars, and I would oftentim...

I am good at suspending my disbelief for a good story. I just need some character depth, a decent plot, and perhaps a sprinkling of funny, suspenseful, or heart-warming moments. While this book had a few heart-warming moments, it lacked all the rest. I truly felt like I was reading an early draft in...

whenever I try to think of how to describe this book I hear Werner Herzog saying "clumsy".There are better Space Exploration Horrors out there, but if you're into the genre, you take what it gives you and enjoy it. I wanted more from this in the way it was put together (barely any character developm...

Via LectusNorwegian novelist John Harstad creates a frightening trip to “explore” moon that includes three teenagers randomly chosen through a lottery.I’m going to tell you right away, the first half of the book is quite boring!

So, I heard a lot about 172 Hours on the Moon before it came out. And I was intrigued. Teenagers on the moon? Secret government base? Sign me up. At the end of the day, 172 Hours has pros and cons (as all books do) and I almost liked it in theory better than in practice. This book had one important ...

4.5 stars!!I didn’t mean to read it all in one day but I just had to know how it all played out once they all got picked, once they all got strapped into the space shuttle and then when they landed, I knew my day was shot…..I was destined to finish this book all in one day, no doubt about it. One of...

The Page SageWhat did I just read?That's pretty much what I'm thinking about this book. Some words to describe it are terrifying, disturbing, and utterly mind-boggling. Just, what?172 Hours starts out a little slow. Some of it is, I think, that there's a lot of build up, plus the book has been trans...

Who knows what's really out there?IT'S THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME...IF THEY MAKE IT BACK ALIVE.This book. This book. I have so many things to say.First of all: the romance between Antoine and Mia. It was so short, and practically nonexistent, and basically unexplained, but it was so...adorable? P...
