Title: cry for help
Review: John Grisham has reached almost unprecedented heights in recent years with his slick legal thrillers, but he loses the plot entirely here. Science fiction romantic comedies are never done for the simple reason they don't work. Give Grisham credit, he tries something off the beaten path here but it all goes horribly wrong after a few chapters. without revealing the plodding plot, nothing is going on here !! Two people sitting in a small closet talking quietly to each other may make for riviting German arthouse film, but in book form all it induces is a zombie like state. Even the mandatory surprise twist at the end fails to awaken the slumbering reader. Not recommended by this particular reader.
