Review: A good effort, but not what I would pick.

First, a short background of my tastes: I like Science Fiction, Historical Novels, Post Apocalyptic stories, just about anything, but horror/scarey stuff is last.Rerun really isn't a horror novel and it isn't really scarey, either.  I think it falls between a lot of style labels. I felt frustrated throughout this book -- frustrated at the main character for not finding a better way of dealing with his "gift," frustrated at the amount of details included in the story, but at the meandering way the plot moved towards some type of cohesive conclusion. Grammatically, this book was fine. The plot was weak until the last few chapters (I kept wondering where the book was going -- which can be good if everything else is working). I found the conclusion unsatisfying (but remember, I like happy endings) and abrupt. The conflict was not really explained other than one character was psychotic.Not to sound all that negative, it really was a good effort.  The premise has not been explored that well.  I just feel that the author could have done more with it and made the readers care a bit more about the characters.  I stayed with it, so it did hold my interest until the end.
