I wanted to love this book. I absolutely love Justin Cronin and think his work is elegant, moving, and thought provoking.  This story was just that...a story.  It was a nice story and changing POV was interesting.  The book definitely kept me interested and entertained, but I forgot it as soon as I put it down.  Sometimes I needed to back up to remember what I had read when I left off.  Disappointing, but it was his first published work.
