I finally finished this tonight while waiting for my daughter's class to finish. I am not sure if it is my expectations that were wrong or just that it isn't my style of book, but this wasn't nearly as good as I was hoping for. There are a lot of positive reviews here and other places, so maybe I will continue with book 2, but I am not in a hurry to do that at this point.
Next up is
Timeline by Michael Crichton which was nominated for the March Book Club (this is the last day to
vote...) and arrived at my library much faster than I was expecting. Might as well give it a whirl.
