  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.

  It's nothing like the TV series, I actually prefer the TV series.

  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.
