Wow, this was a great ride. I don't often come across stories about aging characters, so that and the plot had me very interested. Jo has a somewhat turbulent relationship with her father and his increasing dementia only adds to the strain. When Jo finally decides to move him to a very promising research facility, where he'll be cared for by the best in the field, she's relieved to be able to live her own life, again. Unfortunately, her father's new home is being run by people who are under immense pressure to produce results that require more time than they have.
The characters in this story actually behaved realistically, and every time I thought the story was about to have me rolling my eyes, it ended up giving me exactly what I needed it to. Nearly everyone in the story was reasonably well-rounded and someone I could easily sympathize with, and I was eager to know what happened next, throughout the whole book. I thought the story was incredibly well-crafted. I was hoping for a different ending, but it definitely made for a memorable one. I hope Anderson continues to write new stories, because I'm looking forward to the next one.

Wow. I used to read a lot of Robin Cook books and so this appealed. It started off quite slow and then really built into a crescendo. I really did enjoy it and was gripped all day today reading it.
Loved the ending, loved the sub ending and finally got a resolution to what was worrying me and made sense.
