Title: A good read while in the airport/on the plane...
Review: Just finished reading this after a coast-to-coast round trip, which seems to be the best way to digest this treatise... I agree with previous comments regarding the near future. It's as if this book were written in the 1960's by someone who would have no concept of the communications revolution. Thought it would have been cool if Roche had turned out to be a traveller from even further in the future who happened to cross paths with Kivrin. He would have recognized her origins from her modern English ravings while she was ill, and they could have worked together to aid those they cared about without upsetting the space-time continuum. I could see this being made into a movie assuming improvements to the year 2054 situations and a more satisfying ending.
Is the review positive or negative?
