Now normally I’m not really into any reality TV like “Love Island” or “Big Brother” and such like, so I think I was mainly interested in the space element but I was blown away by this, I honestly don’t know what I was expecting but this certainly was far above anything I could assume.

Even when the description mentions “if dream turns into a nightmare” it is so easy to assume that it’s just because they get homesick or they find out that they don’t actually get on with anyone, I mean imagine being in a space craft and then left on a planet with 11 people you don’t like, it sounds like it could be a total nightmare, after all you can’t just decide to go home when you are fed up can you?

But no, that’s not what happens, it turns out that there is a team within the Genesis programme that are more than just a little corrupt, who will go to extreme lengths to keep the Noah Report hidden.

There are so many different subplots within this, I do wish there had been more from the boys side but as this is mainly told from Leonors side we only find out about the boys when she meets them during their speed dating sessions and when the group of girls are discussing them.
Having said that, we do see some of the other speed dating sessions from the perspective of viewers at home watching the genesis channel.
The secret team within the Genesis Programme and the Noah Report actually do take up quite a large portion of the plot, although you wouldn’t think so when you first start reading.

Character wise Leonor probably was my favourite, she was definitely the most “Real” out of the group, at the end of the day they were all there to play a game of some form, but by being herself she was the only one who started to notice that things weren’t right.
Elizabeth and FangFang are both towards the bottom of my list, Elizabeth is just such a snake, who knows maybe she will change, and FangFang, she hasn’t actually done anything, I just can’t see a connection with her and the group as friends yet, she’s just “there” studying a lot.

I wasn’t overly keen on a lot of the dialogue between the team at Genesis, sometimes it felt a little odd, but I imagine this is due to translation, sometimes changes have to be made, I don’t feel like it took away from the plot in any way though.

The ending was SUCH a cliffhanger, I can’t wait for “Distortion” to be released because my god I feel like I need it now.
Will they make it to Mars? What will happen once they are there? what will happen with the Noah Report? Who is going to marry Who?
