OK, c'mon we are not talking about high quality literature here. OTOH it was nice escapist scifi. The writing was decent; certainly head and shoulders above .... oh say a Dan Brown. I would prefer to hear fingernails on a chalkboard than have to read Brown's dialogue.

The ending of The Fold was a bit of let down but conclusions are harder to write than intros! And of course the door was left open for a sequel or two.

The central character has an interesting cognitive attribute. Nothing supernatural; but Cline does a nice job of creating a 'visual image' of that character's capability. I found that characters mental ability to be more interesting than the story itself. I wish Cline would have fleshed it out a bit more. For example an author like Stephen King would have taken the character and built an entire story, albeit much darker, around those abilities.

I am being a bit circumspect; I don't want to give much away in case you chose to read The Fold. Have you read anything else by that author?
