Blackout is the first half of this story and MUST be read first. Well-written but overly long; it should have been edited down to take out at least 100 pages. My FIL, a voracious reader, couldn't get through it. Connie Willis likes to mix in literary references, which is usually charming but occasionally annoying. The end of this book is particularly good and made slogging through the middle worthwhile. Frankly, when I got bogged down in the middle I skipped to about 50 pages from the end and then went back. You should too if you're tempted to give up. One of these days I'll psych myself up to read the whole thing through....
