Across the Universe

To be honest with you when I read the synopsis I thought this book had some similarities to the movie Passengers which I surprisingly loved. So of course I automatically added it to my "to read" list. Across the Universe was a very slow starting book. It was a little weird to get used to the way they talked and wrap your head around the way things were aboard the ship. I actually wasn't sure I wanted to read the next one until I was over halfway through this book. Elder was the next leader of the ship. Amy a frozen passenger aboard the ship not meant to be awakened until the ship landed on their new planet. Amy gets woke up almost 50 years before the ship is supposed to land, but she's not the only one. Someone aboard the ship keeps pulling people out of their frozen chambers and a few of them have died because of it. Amy and Elder go on the hunt to find out who. A good misery book with a little side dish of romance. Can you figure out who the murderer is before Elder and Amy do?
