    Quite enjoyable and very different from the TV series, although the basic plot is the same. Definitely worth reading if you're into the TV version.

  • I read the book since I was so curious about a tv series really good.

    Even if the idea it's terrific, the novel it's poor and I didn't enjoy it at all.

    I read this after really liking the series on TV. I like the concept and some of the ideas based around the effect a glimpse of the future has on people and the world. I wasn't crazy about the style of writing and found it a bit of a chore to get through.

    My biggest gripe was the author's overuse of the word "doubtless" - it drove me crazy! A good concept, but too scientific for me.

  • The idea behind "Flashforward" is just terrific but the book tends to deal more with the personal un-interesting lifes of leading characters who are passing time chewing themselves into little mental bits.

    A book that deserves to be read but far away from the masterpiece definition

  • If you like this book

    try Spin by Robert Charles Wilson. It is similar in terms of dealing with a scientific oddity/catastrophe and the social implications that followed.
