Eck! This book took FOREVER to finish! Absolutely forever. It was SO long and boring! The premise was interesting - the Flood happens again & rather than an ark, a ward of the hospital floats. But it was SO bogged down with medical terminology - the writer - who just finished his residency and is now at the Harvard Divinity School seems to have wrote this it to be a big, smarmy show-off. Now, the writing itself was all right, but all the adults died in the end without a lot of motivation... it seemed Adrian wrote himself into a corner and went out by the childish ending of "...and then they all died." Basically, all in all, it was NOT good.
