While definitely an interesting premise with well-written characters (particularly Rook and Tanner), The Rain suffers from two big issues that hold it back.
First, the pacing is all over the place. Tanner's part often feels exceedingly slow while Rook's develops quickly despite taking place over ten times the years.
Second, the author didn't seem like he knew what he wanted to focus on. The book is part climate change warning, part Big Pharma diatribe, part reflection of human spirit.
Overall, it was a fun read, but I can't say I'd recommend it or pick it up again.
