Title: Cool idea, but poor execution
Review: This book was a let-down. It has a very interesting premise, but the writing does not live up to the promise. Many of the major characters are one-dimensional and totally unsympathetic, to the point that I simply did not care what happened in one of the two major story-lines. Stereo-types are used in place of character development, and verge on the offensive. Logic takes a holiday, as characters miss the obvious and do not possess knowledge that they should. Loose ends abound, with potentially major plot-twists simply evaporating with no residue left behind. And the ending is a poor cop-out, with no feeling of closure given to the reader.Give this one a pass. The one star is for the idea.
