Characters a bit flat, too... but all in all a very entertaining and fascinating read. ( )The content of this book was quite interesting, but the book still seemed to act like a double dose of Tylenol PM. I think this is largely due to the fact that this novel is very poorly written. The structure of the book is just awful. In an attempt to cover everything, Strieber manages to only skim many of the issues and themes of the novel. Characters emotions are unrealistic; there seems to be no degrees of emotions, i.e., characters are either extremely happy or extremely angry or extremely frightened. This occurs even before the mounting tension of the plot. Settings would change mid-paragraph without informing the reader, leading to confusion during action sequences. Overall, this book should have been longer to allow for more exploration, and an editor should have been a little more demanding of the author. This is not one of Strieber's better works. I was prepared to not like this, but ended up reading it in less than 48 hours. It turned out to be a page turner...very believable (for those of us willing to suspend our disbelief just a bit) Fans of Communion will not be disappointed. I was a little let down by the ending, and it seems to have been set up for a sequel...lots of dangling ends. no reviews | add a review
