"A claustrophobic, high-tension, survival-against-the-odds thriller."—Guardian

overall good, but a little alow

I enjoyed the story line and narrator was decent. I was hooked, but it just felt slow, especially the beginning third of the book. I'm jumping right into the 2nd book because I need to know the outcome. The pace, even listening at 1.2, kept me from giving 5 stars.

The story kept me wanting so much more

After every chapter the was always the urge to listen to One more no matter what time it was

good book, but unsatisfying ending

overall this was a great book. the storyline was unique and plausible, and I really like the fact that there was so much scientifically correct information in it. however, the ending was rather abrupt and unsatisfying. I also think there was much more opportunity to embellish the reasoning behind the decisions the company XO made.

Excellent Pacing, Great Plot

Title says it all. The story draws you in quick and gets you more and more invested.

It was okay

Lots of going round and round. Not a very good narrator not sure why people think he’s so good.
