Incredible novel! Kept me glued to my phone for hours at a time because I simply couldn't put the story down! Where to even start with it! The characters are grimly realistic in completely extraordinary circumstances. The social commentary is both powerful and masterfully woven throughout the plethora of themes and various elements in the story. It is both a classic story based on the concept of human resilience and a warning to humanity to check their egos simultaneously. This book has it all, and it has been a long while since a book has gotten me this excited. Five stars! Would read again any time!
