Flashforward

The premise of Flashforward in intriguing and thought provoking. Fate versus free will with a cast of characters trying to make sense of it from a scientific and emotional perspective. Sadly though, I found the execution of the story lacking. There were two many heavy handed scientific conversations - both between characters and with only themselves - that left my brain wandering, wishing the book was more like the television show.

The second half the book moved faster and made the characters more three dimensional, more emotional. And while not the best climatic chase scene I've ever read, the hovercraft scenes were what what finally pushed Theo into a likable lead character. It was those scenes that took the story from 2 to 3 stars for me.
