Steal Across the Sky

Aislinn lent me this novel by Nance Kress, and I started reading it aloud to Erin while we drove up to Seattle over thanksgiving. It starts off with a hook that had us both wanting to find out more, but then just hangs on the suspense far too long without giving the characters any new dimensions.

Probably had enough plot to make a decent short story, but there were just too many "why the hell did that happen... and wait it *never* gets explained?" moments to finish it all the way through.
