I really, strongly enjoyed this book. This has been my favorite science fiction book I've read, at the very least, in the last 6 months.
While reading the book, the thought that this would make a splendid movie was omnipresent. The fact that this book is science fiction is almost a coincidental thing - more than that, it's a good mystery and an exciting read with lots of different well-written parts, like: a plot worth spending time on, and a mystery you're interested in finding more about; a main character you're both interested in and root for, and surrounding characters that you're interested in and that complement the story; scary parts of the book that are terrifying thoughts more than bloody depictions of violence and gore; interesting discussion of religion without going overboard about it, and discussion of other "big ideas".
That said, there are some bad parts as well. This book, at +/- 350 pages would have been better if it were longer. While the surrounding characters are interesting and well-written, we don't get to see enough of them. Characters come in and are dropped just as quickly. Though, really - the biggest problem with this book is that it reads like a good movie, and not necessarily a good book. I could go further into why, but it will take away from reading the book and being engrossed in the story.
This is solid 4 star science fiction that I wish had been twice as long and it's recommended to any science fiction fan, or anybody interested in an exciting and quick read. This is a book that would be ideal for an airplane (for me).
