review 1: I have to admit that this one took some patience to get into. There are very long philosophical/scientific discussions, tons of characters thrown at you all at once and the action keeps switching back and forth between two seemingly unrelated story lines. Before you get to the midpoint, however, clear your schedule, get yourself a large beverage of your choice and get really comfortable, because when the switch is flipped all hell quite literally breaks loose and you won't want to put it down until you're done. Make sure you know someone else who has read or is reading it because you will want to spend hours bouncing your own interpretations and theories off that person.
review 2: I have to say that Brookmyre is not shining in this book much. The plot takes ... morea really long time to blossom, making the reader lose interest fairly quick.While the characters are fleshed out, almost three quarter of them will not last till the book's end, making the first half forgettable at best.For me, the ending, although satisfying, did not make up for the rest of the book. Admittedly, there are questions unanswered, which leave the story open for a sequel, yet there is hardly anything that would make this book stand out from the hundreds of its kin in the horror genre.This book is definitely not recommended for those who would like to read Brookmyre for the first time. less
