Özet

Jeremy Bremen has a secret. All his life he's been cursed with the ability to read minds. He knows the secret thoughts, fears, and desires of others as if they were his own. For years, his wife, Gail, has served as a shield between Jeremy and the burden of this terrible knowledge. But Gail is dying, her mind ebbing slowly away, leaving him vulnerable to the chaotic flood of thought that threatens to sweep away his sanity. Now Jeremy is on the run - from his mind, from his past, from himself - hoping to find peace in isolation. Instead he witnesses an act of brutality that propels him on a treacherous trek across a dark and dangerous America. From a fantasy theme park to the lair of a killer to a sterile hospital room in St. Louis, he follows a voice that is calling him to witness the stunning mystery at the heart of mortality.

This is a serious miss. The story meanders. The characters are unlikeable. The conclusion is difficult to follow. The best thing I can say about it is that it's a short read. Ugh.

A serious miss

First, the narration sounds like it is being done by Agent Smith from The Matrix - way too slow and monotonous. Unfortunate as the book needs pepping up. It reads like a quantum physics nerd had a physics textbook and based the story around that, rather than thinking of the story and adding little touches of science to make it believable.
In the style of Tolkien, descriptions go on and on and on without the story moving onward, with lots of self indulgent waffle about conversations between the protagonist and his wife. On and on and on. And on. The tedium is punctuated by the odd bit of action courtesy of some gangsters. A fun sci-fi romp this is not. This won't be worrying the likes of Ernest Cline. Personally I'd leave this alone and leave the slow drawling monotony for someone else.

Not much fun

Dan Simmons has talent. But this book shows none of it. It’s entirely self indulgent crap. His meditations on what was cool for him in the 90s. Best left on the shelf.

A book about suffering that goes nowhere
