Title: Two Good Things
Review: I'm sorry to say I was duped into reading this boook by all the good reviews on this page - but after struggling through the last 200 pages I can only think of a few good things: a terrific plot idea and a clever way to keep most of the characters straight by matching the first initial of their name with the first initial of their occupation (e.g., Nora - nun, Charles - CPA, Renee - realtor, etc.). But too many things fell apart in the middle of what started out to be fun. When Foster the fisherman just left the island and nobody ever noticed or wondered where he went - and when even the "Control" lost count of how many people were left alive, the book simply lost what little credibility it had. Like Reilly's Temple and Deitrich's Getting Back, the book had potential but didn't deliver.
Is the review positive or negative?
