A fascinating, hilarious and terrifying speculative fiction that kept me hooked till the last page. It's one of those book you can love or hate and I loved it.
It's full of ideas, voices, descriptions and sometimes the abundance of ideas and voices made me dizzy but it was also a reflection of the current information overload.
Shelby and Lonny are great characters. Each of them represents an approach to the net culture, one will win and the other will lose.
The story is set in an unnamed city dominated by tech giant, it could be anywhere because there's no place on the Earth where tech giant cannot reach.
It was a fascinating, entertaining and thought provoking read, highly recommended.

I loved the idea of memories passed to the descendants and how the books moves in time.

An excellent cozy mystery and a great addition to this series.
The characters are well thought and likeable as usual, the setting is interesting and the solid mystery kept me guessing.
The plot is a bit darker than usual as there are references to child abuse but I appreciated how well the author dealt with this issues and her empathy toward the victims.
There's a lot of humour and character development. A sort of cliffhanger at the end of the story make me wish to read the next instalment soon.
Highly recommended.

I never called any of the book I reviewed a masterpiece but there's always a first time. This book is a masterpiece, an unputdownable brilliant story that mixes different styles of writing and keeps you hooked till the end.
It's a book that talks about books and contains another book, a sort of delightful matrioska with a lot of references to Golden Age mysteries and cinema.
I loved everything. from the style of writing to the well thought characters, from the well plotted story to the excellent storytelling.
An excellent and gripping read that I strongly recommend.
