  I don't read much science fiction but this book makes me want to read more, I really enjoyed this very thought provoking story, well written and kept me interested enough to read it all in one sitting.

  Great quick read.
  
  I was looking for a quick read to tide me over before my next book club meet.
  It fitted perfectly.
  Right up my street.
  Natural disaster and alien encounter.
  This book had me gripped and there are not many that can hold my attention so well.

  Very enjoyable
  
  This was a very enjoyable book that offered a distinctive perspective on sci-fi themes. The central plot was good and we'll worked through but what I liked most was that there was a strong links k to the world view and experience of the reader. This was the starting point and a point of reference

  Futuristic warning!
  
  Not bad, if anything I could point out about the plot is that it's just another wake up call to our wasteful ways, shame on us for not heeding this and many other authors reminders that our carefree lifestyle won't last forever, we're messing up the planet along with the future generations chance to have a viable environment, oh well they're trying.

  This book in my opinion was missing something; not a good story. Aliens have taken over a very old convent and periodically abduct people and take then to another time and place. But the book is rather confusing as to just where they are, and its not clear why the aliens are on Earth. Then about half way through the book its revealed that the aliens are here to save the Earth but then its not clear what from. Then the people who are abducted come up with a plan to save the Earth and present it to the aliens.
  
  In the end I am not sure who saved who and how. People are moved from planet Earth in the distant future to Mars. And the only result we are given is that the people of Earth eventually travel to the stars and the Earth is consumed by the sun. But this is billions of years in the future.

  Ultimately disappointing
  
  I thought the premise of the book sounded promising, but sadly the story just wasn't very strong. The character development was rather weak, and I felt the author got lost somewhere resulting in a half finished feel to the book.
  I read a lot of science fiction, and my favourite authors are some of the greats, such as Arthur C Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and more recently the likes of Christopher Nuttall. Therefore it will always be difficult for an author such as Tony Harmsworth to inspire me the way these authors can.
  Not terrible, but just not very fulfilling I'm afraid.

  Hooked me from page one
  
  Probably the most enjoyable sci fi book I have read since Rendezvous With Rama 24 years ago. I simply enjoyed every aspect of it. The pace, the gentle writing style, the twists and the fact that it left me thinking about it constantly since I completed it. If only it had been twice as long. I shall now check out Tony Harmsworth's other books.

  I don't give five stars often, but ....
  
  I am for The Door!
  After a slow start which I thought was going to lead to a simple, boring read, suddenly leapt to an exciting and unusual ending. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading another of Mr. Jackson's offerings soon.

  A slightly more unusual sci go book that breaks away from the standard stories of alien invasion/induction and adds a twist to it.
  
  I don't want to write much because it really would give the story away and spoil it , but I will say that it's a great book, well written, has a bit of unusual twist.

  This book was so good, I read it twice in spring of this year, in its previous manifestation as Green Door.
  
  An excellent story, highly relevant to the issues facing the Earth today, this is a great read for everyone, not just sci-fi aficionados!
  
  Highly recommended.

  Science fiction isn't my normal genre but I have to say this has piqued my interest.
  
  I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The style of writing was easy to read and every page made you want to turn over, eager to understand the mystery.
  
  I will definitely read science fiction again.

  Out of this World
  
  Nice easy read but lots to think about. The storyline flows really well but really makes you think about the ecological problems we are facing.
  If only we could all live in harmony but maybe only the future can see our mistakes!

  This should probably be classified as a teen novel because of the simple style and plot.
  It was engaging and fresh, but had numerous, clumsily-filled plot holes, inconsistent technology and a heavily laboured point about consumerism.

  This book is different
  
  That alone should spark your interest 🙂
  It is well written, interesting, and has a different take with different solutions to problems we all experience.
