Title: Heavy on prose; light on plot
Review: Heavy on prose; light on plot. The diary was especially irritating, completely written in sentence fragments. The last two parts were annoying as well, written referring to sci-fi elements not yet explained or described. I'm an avid reader, but hate literary fiction when the words are the focus and not the plot. This is more for those who love purple prose and the writing and don't mind a fragmented plot. Fortunately I rented it from the library before buying. Phew! Next time I see Tom Hanks give an interview for a film and recommend the novel, I will think twice. If you didn't enjoy this novel, you are not alone. My advice: if you hate the first 10 pages of each section, just skip it entirely because it doesn't get any better.
