want to preface this with the fact that the copy of the book I was given was the 'movie' book, so perhaps the original book was better. Although it was a fun read, it was somewhat disappointing and predictable. Really the first few chapters simply jumped between extreme weather (Look hurricanes!! Now to other characters, look giant hail!! Now someone you don't like... See him get hit with giant hail!!). Then the scientist who is roundly mocked/disbelieved by the government again and again despite the changes in the weather. His son goes on a trip. Who could have predicted that he would be caught in bad weather? (My hand goes up). They are trapped in a building, he tells others that it is dangerous to leave. Who would have thought that bad things would happen to those that leave? (My hand goes up). Now the heroic scientist goes to rescue his son. In between all of this I found the book extremely preachy. Preaching to the choir (I am not a disbeliever in global warming) but it seemed like you were being told off for wastefulness throughout the book.

I was hoping to get more details about the evacuation of areas (aka Suite Francaise) but the book seemed narrowly focused on a few characters I didn't care too much about.

If you want a quick beach read this would suit, if you want a depth of character or a story of survival you may be disappointed as well. ( )
