Basically, half of this is the first Harry Potter book, the other half the seventh (of course better written). I probably would've enjoyed this even more when I was younger.

Great fun
4 stars
An exciting thriller, paired with a picture of Silicon Valley from the perspective of an "old computer person" who has been there more or less from the beginning.

Extremely nice
5 stars
The author has said this book is inspired by Hermann Hesse and you can tell (this is a high compliment). The world building is superb as well. What more could you ask for?

Abstract Reader reviewed The Steel Remains by Richard K. Morgan
Not as good as his SciFI
2 stars
It might just be because I like Science Fiction a lot more, but this was much less enjoyable to me than any of his works in that genre.

Abstract Reader reviewed Pariah by W. Michael Gear
Best one in this series so far
5 stars
I'm not even quite sure why, but this has been the most gripping installment so far (which is saying something). Probably the best third part of any series I've read so far.
