alobearI have been struggling my way through this book for the last five days - and, after 350 pages, I have finally decided life is too short to wade through the final 140 pages, and I am raising the white flag.
City At The End Of Time is by Greg Bear - I have no idea what it's about, and my vain hope that it might eventually start to make some kind of sense has been swamped by the overwhelming desire to read something - dear god, anything - else.
There's something about a city, which is surrounded by emptiness and weird furry people keep going out on expeditions to find out if there's anything else out there, and they never return. Then, there's Seattle around about now, with three young people who have the ability to jump between parallel worlds, and dream about the city. Various groups of people are trying to find them for reasons that have not yet been made clear, and some kind of space-time catastrophe is causing Seattle to rebound through an ever shortening time loop and gradually disintegrate.
It's possible it might all come together to a satisfactory conclusion, but at this point I really don't care.
