First off, this isn't a book. It is a short story that is 30 pages or so in length. Reading the other reviews make it sound like some huge novel filled with many obstacles and encounters. It really isn't.This is the story of a family trying to reunite after a tsunami hits the Florida Keys. There is some good stuff here. It just doesn't feel like a story though. It feels like the premise of a story that is still waiting to have sections filled in at a later time. I kept expecting threads that were being introduced to go somewhere but usually they just unraveled into nothingness. The ending doesn't feel so much as an ending as a stopping point. It is as if the author said his writing time was up and just stopped. I liked what was there, but just felt that it needed more to finish it.
