review 1: This book is phenomenal! A great mix of science and religion in an apocolyptic world, its seriously worth the read. Surprisingly at first I wasn't sure about the way she wrote, it all seemed as if she would cram as many descriptive words into one sentence as she could muster. But its something you just get used to whilst reading and by the end of the book you're so blown away by her style its as if you're seeing everything right in front of you. It could easily be a film. And I would pay to go see it. The cover of my copy is different ( and a lot more interesting if I say honestly) and on it is a stamp saying ' the tv book club best read' as by Channel 4 and More 4, sponsored by Specsavers. If you come across it, pick it up!
review 2: It was really difficult to... more rate this book because I did like most bits of the first 80% of this book and then it really went downhill for me.The story is told by an art therapist who was involved in a car accident that left her wheelchair bound. She manages to get a job (before she is ready) at a psychiatric hospital for troubled teenagers and meets Bethany Krall a sixteen year old who killed her own mother.Bethany claims to be able to predict natural disasters and after some time Gabrielle (the art therapist) is forced to take her claims seriously.I liked the character formations and the interaction between them - even though both main protagonists (Bethany and Gabrielle) were very annoying at times their actions / feelings were justified by their past and the fast approaching future.I don't want to give away the ending of the book but I did feel it became bogged down in religious scripture and was not what I would call satisfying.Other things irritated me like Fraser being constantly referred to as either 'Frazer Melville' or 'the physicist' - yes we know who his is, no need for full name CONTINUALLY!I didn't really get a proper feel for Bethany at all I'm afraid. I did manage to finish the book and it was okay but it felt like a bit of a waste of a good idea. less
