Glenn B. reviewed superb, idiosyncratic on
Helpful Score: 8
Stross' first novel is ambitious in spades and successful a striking amount of the time. Some may find the satire laid on a bit thick - others will find it delicious. He has been accused of being a bit on the cold side but this book is such fun that I simply can't go along with that assessment. Plus I like his main characters.
This is one of those books that may infuriate you if you don't get the jokes: you'll find the author a little too smart for his own good. But Stross' ideas are stunning and -- in my opinion -- he pulls you right along if you will let him.
Not recounting the plot. That is for you to discover.
