Ever since I can remember, I've loved reading. I participated in advanced reading groups as a child, and often read above my grade level. As a pre-teen, I gravitated toward science fiction and fantasy, and never looked back. My love of the fantastical inspired me to write my own short stories, which were often simple and crude (in terms of quality, not subject matter, though sometimes that, too). I didn't have too many friends when I was younger, so books kept me company. However, my teachers always praised and encouraged my writing, and I was happy they did.

While I appreciated the world-building, creative use of language (including invented terms), and some of the action set-pieces, the story felt too vague for me, and moved too slowly. I'll still read Mona Lisa Overdrive to close out the Sprawl trilogy ...more

This was quite the ride. Equal measures a psychological thriller and a satire of the publishing industry, I've never read a book quite like it. June Hayward is a vivid, engrossing protagonist, and the twists and turns in her story lay bare her soul. ...more

This isn't a book I would have read if not for the book club formed by my co-workers. Overall, I feel it's overly literary and not to my taste. However, I do like Part Two quite a bit, and the ending packs a wallop. Part One feels too much like a his ...more
