Well written, and it grips you, and will not let go before the end ;-)BUT :*One of the main characters, Chase, behaves like a thwarted toddler, and it really makes me not like him (if the situation is adequately  explained to you, and you are told to do something right NOW, you do not start questioning, you DO!!). Also he blames his father, and ignores him for 15 years, for something that was exclusively HIS fault. It is (somewhat) understandable in a teenager, but NOT in a grownup man.*All of the Others behave quite normally. HOW? If they have been locked up, with no access to outside world, their ability to function in a society would be severely limited. Not to mention that they use (accurately) religious references (God, Jesus). How do they even know about them? If they read it from someones mind, it still gives them no reference or explanation (human thoughts are NOT like reading the book!).*The ending is very abrupt. What are the down-below monsters? What happened to them? Did they get out? What about the Others that got away? Why did not Nine find a Center for 23, since he obviously could do this? Why was it necessary that Dr. Stone be taken out of the timeline/fold, since it only gives him more power, not less? Why the elaborate plot? The KISS abbreviation IS still the best (keep it simple stupid)!
