review 1: Science fiction that had a viewpoint and action. Really what can fill an afternoon better than glimpses of the way things can be and how we can be right and wrong at the same time about the same things. Very violent and it frames the action in a intelligent story with exciting writing. First book in a while to bring back that feeling I had the first time I read Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. And from me that is high praise.
review 2: I enjoyed most of this book- I liked the main characters, thought they were an interesting array of differing personalities. The brutal, devastated world was futuristic but too easy to believe in. Much of the philosophy of the book was based on evil rich people taking advantage of poor people, but in some pretty Machiav... moreellian ways. I wasn't too sure what happened at the end- if it was a setup for a sequel or if it was meant to leave something to our imaginations. Some loose ends would have been better tied up; and I didn't need quite so much political arguments. But still a good book. less
