I wanted to like it, really I did, and I think I would have loved it when I was younger, but it was so clearly not aimed at me (for disclosure purposes I'm 50 and actually enjoy a certain amount of hacker-type fiction) I didn't manage to finish it. Paul (57) did enjoy it.

Except for that line, it's killer. :)John D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03315231512528211559noreply@blogger.com
