This book ($4.99 for Kindle) is impossible to classify. Yes, a bit of facebook (and correct even!) A bit of murder (one of the main characters is dead by the second page & still narrates). More than a bit of new ageism. A bit of love and a bit of hate. A lot of Hawaii. Very very different... and if you hang in there during this unusual book until about 2/3 of the way through you are treated with an exciting, tense extremely well written part of folks dealing with a natural disaster.

Very different, but I'm glad I read it.

Sorry I'm so general, but i hate spoilers :)… (plus d'informations)

I didn't read the synopsis of this book before actually reading the book--I wish I would have. I expected something altogether different.

Even so, I was determined to read the whole thing.... but I wanted to give up a number of times. It wasn't so much the plot-line of the story that made me want to quit. It was the choppy nature of the book. I'm not opposed to stories going back and forth between characters; I just feel like the flow of this particular story was choppy. I had a hard time staying on target, and I had an even harder time staying interested. It would get super exciting, then rush into an ultra-boring portion... I don't feel like it was very well written.

I read this on my Kindle Fire, and I'm still new to e-readers, so perhaps that was part of the problem.... I was somewhat pleased with the ending, but to be honest, I don't think I'd recommend this book to anyone. Sorry--it just wasn't for me.… (plus d'informations)
