The novel opens with a few brief glimpses of its themes: a scene at a government school called Project Daylight, a woman suffocating, a man being killed by someone reading his thoughts.
Then we meet the main character, Julie Hutchinson, a woman with some marital problems but an undying love for her kids. We soon find out that the dead man is Julie's husband, "Hut" Hutchinson, which sucks for her. She goes through some depression about his death, seeing a shrink and trying to make sense of life without her husband. She also wants answers about his life — Was he cheating on her? To what lock do a strange set of keys belong? What really happened in the childhood he avoided talking about?

Very wordy and I didn't really connect with any of the characters. None of them are very likable.

Roller coaster ride that you definitely want to be on. And once you pick up this gem, you won't want to put it down.

Quick read. Started with a lot of clunky technology that quickly dated the story: “Her words appeared in a pop up window of the Instant Messenger” kind of stuff. The dreams were too much for me to be reading in the dark at 2am. And then the ending just… stopped.

3 and-a-half stars.
OK I should have figured this out sooner than right near the ending, but really, I like to just let it happen! I like reading about sex as much as anyone, but it got redundant. And I liked the ending: "My god, you're zombies!!!" etc. It was maybe unintentionally funny. And then the ambiguity was nice. Most other authors would have piled on some more exposition right then, but Clegg just drops the bomb. Pretty tough.
