Loved the book! i listened almost straight through it!will be buying more of Sawyers books.
Great reading, interresting voice.
Amazing caracter development.

Flashforward is based upon an interesting plot line however the constant references to the Nobel Prize, especially at the end of the novel, worn on me since the Nobel has lost most of its credibility in the world.

It's obvious that the author is Canadian because of the many gratuitous references.

I also found the author's writing style a bit trite.

Firstly, Deakins does a fine job of trying to bring life to Sawyer's squandered premise and bland prose. The tone is set early, wherein the first vision describes groping a geriatric breast "like fruit gone bad", yay future!

If you're still interested, have a shot glass handy. Take one anytime Sawyer invokes pedestrian phrases such as "he raised his eyebrows", "he spread his hands", "she indicated ... with a hand gesture". Have your own blackout!

This book was spectacular. I enjoy hard SF, especially stories that begin in contemporary times, and this book did not let me down. Sawyer does a great job at mixing murder mystery with the skiffy (sci-fi) foundation.

First of all, I must preface these comments by stating up front that I'm not a big science fiction fan. I do find the concept of time travel interesting so reading a synopsis and the fact that it was on sale drew me in. The premise, that during a scientific phenomenon, the entire world sees 21 years into the future was interesting. I thought, "How could a 2 minute glimpse of the future seriously effect the lives of today?" I suppose that is what grabbed me and the mental processes that go through everyone's mind as a result intrigued me. I listened to this one and found myself looking for excuses to get away from everyone so I could find out what happened next. The science portion of this book, which is actually relatively small, interested me much less than the human aspect. The end had a few bizarre twists that made me roll my eyes, but on the whole I enjoyed the read.
