Great read, love the characters

I know many people find the frequent insertions of letters and other info from the 1811-12 New Madrid quake to be annoying and/or disruptive, but I really believe they're important. They show that what the author is proposing is not unbelievable--au contraire, it's happened before, but also before ...

Once I first read the summary and description of the book I automatically captured it as an amazing book that I needed to go pick up immediately. Of course, time passed and I soon forgot, but when I reminisced about it and conveniently found it at a book store at Santa Monica beach, I purchased it ...

One of the best books I have read in a while

+ Engrossing and thought-provoking

With the world spinning around series like Twilight and Harry Potter, it is rare that one hears about a single book that is worth reading.
