Customer Reviews

172 Hours on the Moon is kind of a waste of time

It was alright. It’s not originally in english (it’s a rough translation from norwegian) so the writing is choppy and a little odd. I really like the premise of the book and it was a very interesting idea, but it wasn’t executed as well as i had hoped. I would have rated this book two stars if it hadn’t been for the two plot twists at the end, the ending made it for me :)) Overall, a 3 or a 3.5 at best, worth a read if you want a quick sci-fi standalone

The Martian + a dash of horror

I didn't know quite what to expect when I picked this book up and honestly I'm glad I didn't. It was not at all what I expected, it was more horror/suspense then I thought and it was really enjoyable. There were a few plot points I didn't love but it was a nice read to just breeze through and enjoy the tension/story, I couldn't put it down.

Keeps you in suspense!

Do not read this at night especially if you more than half way you will not want to stop!!!! I loved this book but also wanted to throw it across the room too!!! If you like suspense and scary this is a book for you.

Not the best read before bed

I will admit, I was a bit freaked at times. One night I had to put the book down and just go to sleep, hoping the image would not invade my dreams. The first half of the book is the pre-moon, but that does not mean it is boring. The second half is on the moon and it really starts moving then!
