This Side of Salvation
Quick thoughts: For some reason I took a little over a week to read this book. That's not very long but definitely longer than normal when I've a whole pile of books to get to from the library. I think what slowed me down was the alternating settings between "now" and the past, i.e. the lead-up to the Rush. I prefer linear time frames to alternating once, so I wasn't a fan of that.Nonetheless, I thought the premise was intriguing, so I stuck it out. Then I got to the end. The end made me a tinge agitated. In proportion to the rest of the story, the resolution was so abrupt, I didn't even know what hit me. For such a long-drawn lead-up to the core event of This Side of Salvation, I didn't expect everything to become so disjointed.
