Title: I can't even finish it...
Review: I rarely abandon a book. No matter how much I dislike it, I can usually justify sticking with it to the end just based on the time already invested. I'm now 350 pages into this one and am calling it quits.Why? It's just become unbearable (hmm, no pun on the author's name intended)! I slogged through chapter after chapter of over-dramatic scientists worrying about stating out loud the only logical conclusion we can draw. I fumbled through the biology lessons (I admit that was always my weakest science). But then the mid-book romance started, and I just can't stomach it.The dialog is so clumsy, unbelievable, and repetitious ("can you smell me?"), that I think if I ever met these two characters in real life I would run the other direction just to avoid overhearing them talk.Maybe there's some big twist at the end, or some great conclusion, but it will be a long time before I can force myself to find out. What a waste of time.
