I will be reading the other books in this series when they come out, but this book was not as brilliant as I was expecting and hoping it to be. It was good yeah, but... I don't know. It wasn't one of my favourites. 
 The formatting, that was good. That was fucking good, except in a couple of places I couldn't quite tell how to read it, and it seemed a little bit more than it was worth. But that was only a couple of pages out of the whole 599, so. I'd like to read more books in this kind off odd format; I have House of Leaves lined up and waiting for my holiday. I don't know though, I have a headache. I don't know if that's down to the book or something else entirely (edit: it was not because of the book. The book did not cause my headache so, extra likeage.) 
 I did panic in a couple of places; too many numbers, "pay attention to the dates." That was not going to happen in any way, but it didn't seem to make such a problem. I don't like numbers, but I like space stuff. Gonna have to just deal. A lot of space things have numbers, so it is not an individual 'problem' I have with this book. 
 I did not like AIDAN much, except for the fact that AIDAN backwards is NADIA! It's me! But not really. It was okay, but a bit annoying (view spoiler)[how it didn't mind killing everyone and wouldn't accept that it was wrong in doing that, (hide spoiler)] even in the end when it comes to the point where a lot of the readers love it. (What do you call an AI? To me, as well as with the name, AIDAN read as a 'he', but... but.) 
 I liked Kady and I liked Ezra, but I did keep forgetting their names, especially when their last names were used solely, or when their initials were used. They did seem a bit similar, both with their similar way of talking and their very similar sense of humour, so sometimes it was a little difficult to tell them apart when they were not conversing with each other. I think it was especially hard to get a hold on the individuality of the characters with the formatting of the book; you only got a proper glance into Kady's brain with her diary entries. Although at times Ezra himself was very honest, especially when talking to Kady, it was more difficult to get a grasp. The sameness might have been that they were using text-speak; they are teenagers and teenagers use text-speak. I did like the way they acted in the interviews... 'putting up a wall'. Sarcasm and jokes is always good to read. 
 I thought that the representation in the book was good as well, even though it was only seen in glimpses. I think it would have pleased some people, although some of the people who are looking for representation are not pleased by anything, it seems. Examples of this are: The man (view spoiler)[who was part of the group escaping from the Alexander once the... 'infected'? had taken over (hide spoiler)] who had a husband and a daughter back home on his planet. Also, reading through the list of names, you know the one? (view spoiler)[ The casualty list of those aboard the Copernicus. (hide spoiler)] On that- and yes, I read the whole thing- (as well as the exact name of my boyfriend's dad, poor guy) I found what seemed like Asian names, among them what I thought to be Vietnamese. Also, the photographs just after it also showed people of different races. 
 I don't know the history behind this story, if all the people originated from Earth or not. If it was in the book, I totally- stupidly- missed it. However, I do think that these names showed a certain weakness in the world building. If they did in fact not first originate from Earth, why would the languages along the side of the Unipedia page be Chinese and Japanese (I am guessing with them), German, Spanish, Italian, Polish and Russian? Also, why would people have specifically Vietnamese etc originated names? And the ship names being named after scientists and politicians of the past. This might be nitpicking, but it did make me wonder, in all honesty. It did not make the experience of the book go down a lot, but it did a bit. I don't know if they originally came from Earth or not because that would explain a lot! 
 (view spoiler)[I really liked the description of the virus. I watched 28 Days Later the other day, and it was reminiscent to that. I could really imagine it. It would be an awesome drawing, crazy blood covered people running through metal hallways. There was a point where I was hoping wondering if Ezra was actually already dead and Kady herself was going to actually be murdered by the infected people. The 'together' page I had skipped forwards would be heaven, Kady's last thoughts, or something like that. But alas, no. (hide spoiler)] 
 What else did I not like about it... I don't really know. What I did find quite amazing was that although it took me a couple of days to read, I did not really felt like I had read much. It was the formatting. There was a lot of story in there, thinking back, but it did not seem like it whilst I was reading. I like it.
