This book was a departure for our club and a welcome one. Although at tines the plot slowed and the dialogue just average, the concept was fascinating-sci fi in a present setting. We felt there were many analogies of bigotry and terrorism. In the end we felt it was an engaging read but felt conflicted by some of the characters.

It is interesting to read the variety of reviews on this book. I tend to agree with the most positive and even the less positive points. However it was an interesting read for me and kept me entertained. Lack of character development didn't bother me...i was too caught up in the action. So for me it was a good read and I recommend it.
