The book begins with seemingly normal people and events, though with a great sense of foreboding, partly due to the impending hurricane, but also because of other strange events. On the road the next day, for example, Joanes comes across his former mathmatics professor from university stranded by the roadside with his wheelchair-bound wife. Many other strange encounters ensue.
Back in the late 60's/early 70's, movies directed by Sam Peckinpaugh (?spelling) were very popular. They were extremely violent, for the time anyway--perhaps they'd be quite tame nowadays. This book reminded me of one of those movies. There's a lot of violence, and all of a reader's forebodings and fears are played out. The book almost strays into the realm of horror. One reviewer on Amazon described it as an "anxious" read.
Nevertheless I quite liked the book. I was never quite sure where the author was going, but it is well-written, and I quite enjoyed the ride.
