“Hard to get into this one - and it's a big one (read the hardcover.) But once I did, I really became involved with the characters; they were easy to spend time with, and I found it hard to put down. I generally avoid post-Sept. 11 stuff, but the bit at the end was done well. It felt real and surreal at the same time, which is about as real as that gets for me. Not sure that I would recommend it necessarily. If I am going to feel so-so about a book, I prefer it to be less of a commitment size-wise.”
