How was it?
Not sure, I haven't read a whole lot by Simmons. Anyway, I am not even halfway through it yet. Its good so far, but going REALLY slow.

Sounds boring then... coming from you.

I mean, it's been two days. You should've been finished by now. ;)

I'm reading three books at the moment, so that may have something to do with it. :) But no it hasn't completely drawn me in. That doesn't mean that its bad though, may just be my mood.

Nope never heard of it. But I will look around for it. Is it worth buying? (keep in mind, I don't part with money very easily... ;) )

I'm sure you can find it as a cheap paperback by now. And yes, it sure is worth THAT kind of money. ;)

I finished it today and I must say that i quite possibly have never read a book that was so exciting from litterally the first page to the very last, including the authers last words.

Very thought provoking and scary.


Best described as "Black Hawk Down" meets King's "Pulse". I'm sure there's a tale of doom that's much more fitting than Pulse, i just haven't read it. :o

I will check the bookstore next time we are at the mall. Online I have only been able to find it for 15 dollars, not including shipping. But admittedly I haven't looked that hard yet.

15 bucks IS pretty expensive for a PB.

Well, i sure hope you'll stumble upon it soon. And if you don't there's always the movie. ;) :rolleyes:
