Title: Not very exciting
Product review: This is the story of a man who survived a volcano eruption. He was hurt badly himself. The main story keeps getting interrupted by rememberings of other scientists--a lot of characters, so the story is flooded with 'flash-backs' and the structure starts feeling formulaic and sometimes a little frustrating, because the interruptions break the momentum over and over. The writing's not bad, and you get a pretty good sense of what it's like to work on volcanos, but the story itself isn't very gripping.
