review 1: This was a rocket ride of a book; it reached escape velocity in chapter two and just kept on burning. There's a lot to chew on here - unreliable narrators, considerations around whether we can trust our own motivations, external memory storage, the depths of friendship, love, complacency, radical change versus the fear of the masses, and a ripping good conspiracy-within a conspiracy plot. I'm not sure I understood everything, and I'm not sure if the radical changes in the characters were always justified, but I'm certain I'll enjoy reading this several more times.
review 2: I have to rate this well simply because I'm still thinking about the story!

What an interesting premise this turned out to be. I guess I was a little disappointed that, in the end, the consequences just applied to the antagonist. less
