I'm so glad I listened to this, I had SUCH a good time and if I'd been reading it instead I think I would have struggled a bit (there is a lot of technical jargon).
This book genuinely made me laugh out loud multiple times and had me on the edge of my seat despite having seen the movie and knowing how it ends. While it does get very technical at times, I never felt like the book was too smart for me and I was always able to keep up (even if it was barely). 
The characters are all so different and unique and real, each with their own set of challenges and problems which all felt very real considering the premise of the book. Mark is hilarious, even when facing imminent death but also able to get serous and focused, which was paced out very well. 
The pacing was great, the writing style was fun, the premise is very well developed and I'd assume researched to a point where it felt like this could be a real scenario. Highly recommend.
