I received a free e-copy of Cosmic Fever from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Cosmic Fever introduces a host of intertwined characters all while they experience a roller-coaster of emotions and life-changes because of a huge scientific discovery, announcement and retraction.
This was an interesting and thought provoking story. It was humorous and real. Actually, it was almost a little too real. The characters were well developed and believable. Their problems really seemed like they were, in fact, the reader’s problems. The writing, regarding the scientific explanations and theories, was written so that they were easy to understand, while still maintaining their….. science-ness!!
Cosmic Fever was an easy and quick read. I finished it within a day. It was entertaining, but could be a little wordy in parts. It made me laugh, but some parts also made me cringe. I liked Cosmic Fever, but I’m not so sure that I loved it. So it’s getting 3 ½ stars from me! I would recommend this book for any science lovers!

Thank you to Netgally and the publisher for sending me a ARC to review. All opinions are my own.
I sadly had to DNF the book at 60%. I really tried, but it just wasn't the book for me. I had no interest in reading it further. I fully believe that it is a really good book, but it just wasn't the book for me.
What I read I could really enjoy and the writing style was also very good.
I would fully reccommend this book to other people!

This has an interesting premise and is told in a compelling way, with a manageable number of characters that are fully formed. The author is very talented and creative, and some of the topics included may turn-off some readers. But if you're open minded and like a good story with some humor, science, and ideas about the human condition, this is may be for you.
I really appreciate the comp copy for an honest review!!
