Alien novel. Normally something I would avoid like the plague, but it was recommended on reddit in a way that sold it to me[1].
Length[]
My paperback was 278 actual pages long, but I imagine it's a lot less standard pages. A rough calculation puts it at 205[2].

Journal[]
Ordered it on the 21st of October 2013, secondhand from Amazon, alongside another highly recommended novelisation - Constantine.
Read it in pretty short order. It was mostly pretty trash, very pulpy, but the ending was sort of interesting.
Decidedly not on the same order as Shogun.
