Just ducking in to say how much I enjoyed this. :-D
... And while everyone else is singling out their favourite passages, I was particularly struck by this:
Sam can’t remember when the prospect of going back became worse than the prospect of staying exactly where he is. The absolute certainty of it is there though, cold and final like death. There is nothing for him to go back to, not anymore. Sometimes he thinks there never was.
Yes, we're never told why Sam wants to return to 2006 so desperately!
