review 1: I recieved this book in a goodreads drawing. I entered because the premise intrigued me. The writing style reminded me a little bit of Chuck Palahniuk, which made it a little difficult for me to follow at times. I wavered between apathy and caring about the main character and had some trouble relating to him and the other players in the story. They didnt feel relatable, you were always wondering what the motives were. But, I loved the premise of the story and couldn't wait to see what bizarre trouble Nick got into next. I can envision a future of advertisements everywhere you look, everywhere you sit down. I enjoyed this book and after a couple days to fully digest what Ive just read, I will Give it another go to get all the nuances.
review 2: I'm impressed -... more what a believable and awful world this author has created, yet his protagonist, Nick Guan, remains oddly human and resiliant no matter what brutalities are thrust upon him. Really, if the future is going to be that bad (and I'm not talking about the bald thing) I 'm happy I won't be around for it. Unless, of course, reincarnation turns out to be true and then I'll probably be one of those office drones in the tiny stand-up cubicles getting docked for bathroom breaks that the author so blithely describes... less
