"I am not advanced enough to give this book a rave review. Raban only received the second star because his character development was so well done. When I got to the last fifty pages or so I began wondering how he would wrap everything up and I was sad to see he did not. I furiously scoured the internet looking for a sequel to this lovely beginning of a story. So... well written. Poor follow through."
"I can recommend Surveillance; as one of the resident jacket-writing wits opined, it is spooky, and it has a parallel in what I think of as "real" life for every one of its premises. I had no idea it is a movie (not a very popular one, apparently), but I'm about to watch it and compare. :-)"
"Like most of Raban's work, this is set in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Seattle. This one deals with aftermath: not just of 9/11, but of other crises, one in the form of a WWII war orphan (now an old man). In the Age of Paranoia (there are several references to Green Day's "American Idiot" album!) everyone struggles for safety, but the main point of the book is that a crisis can happen any time, any where, with or without warning, and that such things don't care about interrupting the plot of your life."
