Review title: An enigma wrapped in tripe
Product review: The Egan book is unconvincing -- and lacking in entertainment value -- from early on. I usually don't finish a book so poorly written, but a friend encouraged me to pursue to the surprise ending. I do not know why my friend is so taken with the finale (much less the middle) of the book, but it is worth a pass. The central characters are so unlikely and the situation so otherwordly that reader involvement is tough. One word to Ms. Egan on her stylistic choices: Quotation marks were created to help us discern exactly what words each character is speaking; use them. It matters for the reader to know if you are saying something, your character is saying something aloud or merely thinking it.
