An adequate adventure with a veneer of something deeper
3 stars
I was intrigued by mentions of Quantum Mechanics and Derrida in reviews of this book. I was disappointed that these ideas are mentioned, but never really used. There's some dialogue that serves no purpose except to demonstrate how widely read the author is. (For example the scene at dinner where Ariel meets Adam at the biologist's house. Almost none of what they talk about really has any bearing on anything).
It's fine as a sort of modern fantasy thriller, but some of what I'd read about it promised something more interesting.
