I really liked this book. Despite the rather unbelievable premise (etc a flood destroying everything in the world except North America), it was a rather thought-provoking and interesting read. You'll look up from the book and the world has changed for you. Go ahead, I recommend it.

This book had a very interesting premise and the plot drew me in. However the suspense built up short. I feel that readers did not have time to get to know the characters or got truly engaged with the book to fully absorb the impact of the ending. It really could have been better and the ending could leave readers pondering long after the last page is turned, only if it were longer.

This book is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. It certainly did not work for me although I do adore this kind of books where suspense is built through the short pages and then is summarized by an unexpected ending that although ties up everything nicely, leaves a lot to the imagination.

I felt that the ending was unsatisfactory and left many threads hanging. However the writing style was concise and easy to read.

Since the reviewer before me has already written a very good summary of the story, I shall just tell you what I think of it. The writing style was all right and not long-winded, which made this book a quick light read. I feel the characters were a little dull and stereotypical.The characters really did nothing for me, which is a shame, because I liked the setting of the story. As soon as the suspect became obvious the story dragged on, and I was just trying to finish my book. Everything was a little too predictable to evoke suspense.

3 stars for entertainment and writing style.
