Leave the World Behind

There seemed to be something missing the entire way through this book, mostly evident in what one might argue is a lack of even a proper ending. Let alone explanation for the event that drove the whole plot. Interestingly, the writing was strong and distinctly different (including some decent character development) but there is an ongoing feeling like you are waiting for something to happen or for a big reveal/explanation/surpirse that never comes... a decent premise that never gets off the ground and certainly pulls its punches.
