I hate reviewing books that I'm not too impressed with as I don't think I could ever write a book...so who am I to judge? I read a lot though and I appreciate other people reviews.
I could tell that this book was easily one of the first books this author has written...or at least I hope so. I found the narrative of this story so corny...the main characters commentary was cringeworthy at times. I believe the author underestimated his readers intelligence. It could have been such a great story, however there was too much that just didn't read smoothly. I spent most of the time thinking...as if! Not about the whole transmission idea, I was up for that, but how all the characters connected and inter related. However I am not a reader of science fiction and that might be how sci-fi reads.
On a side note I really enjoyed the authors commentary on society. How we idolize movie stars and put our heads in the sand and just accept what we've got.

I read this years ago and wanted to see if it still holds up after so long. It did not. I still really enjoyed the premise but my taste must have changed over the last fifteen or so years. The plot was fun and fast paced but the characters were corny and unbelievable. The dialog felt forced and everyone was overacting their parts like a bad daytime soap opera. A good but "guilty pleasure" read. It was fun to see how far technology and the internet has come since this was written.

I'm not sure why I bothered to finish this one.
