Across the Universe by Beth Revis

This book seems to have received some good reviews, but I really can't see why. The first third of the story moved along nicely and I was totally into it--a ship headed off to a new world, the people cryogenically frozen for the trip. Then the characters started doing illogical things and the science of Beth Revis' world retreated in some places and completely fell apart in others. (If you're going to write science fiction, you should probably understand that ships don't just slow down in space.) Then parts of the end of the book seemed not just emotionally illogical, but completely rushed.

Did anyone else read this? Were you impressed?
