Honestly, I found the book to be very engaging. I actually LIKED that the author steered clear of too many technical details. Look, I read a story to ESCAPE reality. I don't need blow-by-blow details or things being described ad nauseam. She used sufficient details during parts that were suspenseful and not so many when it wasn't absolutely necessary. I find it tedious when authors spend so much time describing a room or a piece of equipment and find that they wasted 50K words without having moved the story forward one tit or tot.As a scientist-turned-writer, I wasn't at all turned off by lack of "hard scientific research" with which so many other reviewers found fault. IT'S FICTION.Were some of the characters predictable? Sure. But that didn't bother me either. It happens. Each genre has its own bits of predictability and I believe there were some rather unfair remarks from reviewers.I read the book in one day. I enjoyed it very much. It was a fast, easy read and I am about to buy the second book.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fast, fun books. Not much mystery, but fun none-the-less.Well done, Ms. Schneider :)
