Title: No sympathy for the characters
Product review: Although the plot of the book drew me to it, I found myself losing interest to the point where the ending had no impact on me. If it were not so short, I would never have finished it.Instead, I was irritated throughout by the small-minded characters who seemed far more concerned with their personal situations and romantic relationships than with the fate of the universe for which they are held responsible. One wonders how they gained this responsibility since they act and speak like high schoolers.When one cannot establish sympathy for the characters, one is not emotionally invested in the plot. Thus, the twist at the end is overshadowed by the feeling of relief at the mere termination of the book. I think I may have persisted in reading it only out of disbelief at the degree to which this acclaimed author bored me.
