Title: Disappointed
Product review: I probably shouldn't have picked this book right after reading "Nerve Damage", which I thought was a pretty interesting (until the end) book. I believe about 25% of this book is about the same as "Nerve Damage". The main characters both dying, both with rare cancers yet somehow don't follow their treatment (despite not wanting to die), lie about their condition to friends, other doctors [which in the case of Oblivion, I find incredibly unbelievable that even the most incompetent doctor would not figure something out just based on a cursory physical exam]. I actually was really annoyed by that aspect of both books. The romance part, such as it was, was silly and embarrassing. It was not all bad though. I'll try another book by this guy but if it features a dying character, I won't finish it. Oh, the mystery itself - a lot of hype for something I ended up figuring out about 1/2 way through the book.
