Score: PERFECT
Anyone that knows me knew this was coming. Now, I know that some people have seen the movie by the same name, and I agree that it is the worst movie to ever be made, but that does not mean you should hold a bias against the book. As Mewrei said about Rainbow Six, I say about this: The movie is an insult to the book.
It starts off a bit slow, introducing the characters, but has a great hook. At first you know just about as much as the main character does, but the storyline will evolve, bringing much more depth to the characters and the world they are set in.
The book is 1066 pages long (1059, depending on what version you got), so it is great for a summer read. If you do NOT like long books that have excellent and deep plot, aliens, intergalactic conquest, politics, banking, mining, military tactics, or science fiction then this book is NOT for you. But if you DO like all that is listed above, then you'd best get on Amazon, because it flies off the shelves within an hour of being stocked.
