review 1: The book has one slightly worried about the possible demise of the printed page, but it is all a bit of a lark. It would have benefitted from rigorous editing. There is some irritating sloppiness which made me consider the possibility of 2 stars only, but the plot was interesting enough to warrant 3 stars in the end.Would I recommend it to someone? Sure, if you are looking for an easy to read book that does not demand too much of you attention then this is the book for you.And keep on reading those paper print books!
review 2: I really wanted to like this book I really did. But it was just ... odd. It teetered on the edge of funny and it teetered on the edge of serious, but never really struck any chords either way. And as a satire, well, once again it never re... moreally delved as far into that as needed to make it work. The premise is great, original and well-thought-out enough to make it seem plausible. But there are way too many characters, most of whom never get fleshed out, and there are way too many story lines that cris-crossed and were sometimes hard to follow. Also, I got bored during the last quarter of the book. Which seems odd, because that was when everything came to a head. Hmmm. Like I said, an interesting premise that's written well, but gets lost in the weight of too many characters and subplots and no real agenda/moral. If it sounds interesting to you, give it a shot, it's a quick read. less
