Extreme Makeover

A very interesting concept, and I enjoyed how Mr. Wells (or Mrs. Wells, according to the acknowledgements) thought up many interesting ramifications for ReBirth. However the overall story and characters left me flat. I felt no particular affection for any of the people, and there was almost no tension in the story. I think the latter problem was augmented by the chapter headings, "xxx days until the end of the world"; I mean it really kills the "how's this going to turn out?" motivation for reading.
