Review title: I hated Jimmy!
Product review: I am more than a little surprised by the 4 and 5 star reviews. First of all, I loved Blind Assassin and Handmaid's Tale. But when I was reading this book, the "feeling" wasn't there. To be sure, the "Minority Report" futuristic world details were interesting, and, imo, the only reason to read this book. But could someone explain why Jimmy was left standing to caretake the world? His life seemed to be a total bore. When he is rambling on about his mother and his various girlfriends I wanted to throw the book across the room. And the coincidence of the epheremal Oryx appearing in his life seemed ridiculous. What purpose does her character serve?Thankfully I got this book at the library, not the bookstore. Give me the Crake diaries and maybe we'll have something!
