[Jeremy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is about spider aliens who drive around in sports cars and that's really all you need to know.

[Tobias Malm · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very sluggish read for me, however when I had read about 70 % the book really took off and I really enjoyed it til the end.

[Bill · Rating 4 out of 5]

I ended up rather enjoying this book. The beginning of the book had a few changes in perspective that made me worried I wouldn't enjoy it, but the main story stuck with the characters that I found most interesting and by the midpoint in the book I was hooked. My favorite part of this novel was that it did what good science fiction often does: it makes a very believable world that follows easy to understand rules which are not far from our own and then follows a story about what happens in that environment. The story and world that this book postulates was very interesting and a great read.

(Random note: the goodreads page for this book is very bizarre, I problaby just picked the wrong one - the real author is Vernor Vigne.)

All I all, the first one was much better In my opinion, though that leaves a lot of room for greatness. This book has many great moments as well as many endearing characters and interesting plot lines.
