The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta

3.0

I think that I like this book better than most Tom Perrotta books. I still won't say he's a good author, and his books are always waaaaaay better as movies (at least so far, based upon Election and Little Children) but his disaffected yuppie thing kinda worked with this one and I think he got the tone right. Everybody's just floundering around and feeling dis-attached and sorry for themselves after half the world (? give or take) just up and disappears. Guess I should say I can't wait to see how awesome the movie is (fingers crossed)!
