I will always love this book for personal reasons. Ms. Chambers writes about a "vortex", an unseen force that keeps the inhabitants of a small college town glued or locked in place. I have lived in a little nightmare just like that. The book is easy to read; the author is overyly worried the reader might not understand the plot or the characters' motives. That makes the book soothing for readers coming home from work with a headache. I enjoyed the plot, the romance, and most of all the "river hippies". I would not agree the ending was disappointing. I thought it was well-rounded and clever.
