...Sandra -- thanks for sharing your review with me.<br /><br />I just finished this book last week. I went from being bowled over by it and loving it absolutely, to finally thinking it went on just a little too long. But, overall, I enjoyed it and am very glad I read it. <br /><br />But I think I rushed the ending a little because I can't drop the idea that he failed to tie up a loose end. Without giving away the story -- how did Powers explain how the note writer knew that the one person "spared" would "bring back someone else"? Powers scientifically explains every detail of brain stuff -- but the note-writer's prediction seems completely magical. <br /><br />What did I miss?Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463216142910370346.post-82726048748447559832009-04-15T14:35:00.000-05:002009-04-15T14:35:00.000-05:00I read this book awhile back when it first came ou...I read this book awhile back when it first came out at the recommendation of a member of my book club. She hadn't had much like with it and neither did I. I loved the first half but after that it just dragged for me.
