I enjoyed this bittersweet book about memory, family, friends, life and death and how just knowing people - even from a distance - makes a difference. I also liked the alternating chapters between the events in the City and Laura Byrd's struggles in Antarctica.

I was surprised that this was a suspensful novel. This book wasn't at all what I expected and I really enjoyed it. A real page-turner!

Not good cuz I didn't care about the characters.
