Life Altered in the Blink of an Eye

"Life altered in the Blink of an Eye" is actually the title of a book review article in the Washington Post this morning. My hat tips to the WaPo editor who came up with this intriguing title. My first instinct when I saw it is to think that it is a perfect description of what happens when a freaque wave hits. Indeed the book being reviewed is a fiction that starts with the mysterious missing of a little girl on the beach in which rogue waves were mentioned as a possible cause among others. I am not at all interested in this soap opera kind of modern fiction. Just wish to registered here that I think this is an incredibly poetic as well as agile title. Much more than merely a book review article.
