It’s not really to my taste.

Does it get any better? It’s like a poor-man’s Snow Crash, but more infantile.

I’m on the verge of giving up. The book is disturbing, rather crass and too slow.

This is not for me. I think this is a therapy book.

It’s an exciting read. The politics and emphasis on sexual and racial discrimination and abuse are trying at times, but are valid and important too. I’m hoping the bad attitudes being highlighted are mostly passé now. but the action is set in the 1950s and 60s when they were quite vile.

I gave up.

Gripping and thrilling.

Zero History is the nicest, funniest slightly cyberpunk laid+back intelligent action thriller I’ve read for a long time. It’s going to get a lot of stars. It builds on the characters from the previous Blue Ant books, who develop and become like beloved friends. I’ll be sorry when it’s over, because I’m really interested in some of them.

Exciting and quite funny so far.

Compelling and fascinating. This is proper SF with the emphasis on science.

I’m really enjoying the final book. It’s exciting and Hamilton’s imagination is reaching new levels.

Slow going, not compelling.

What a fantastic, gripping story!

Some parts are super-exciting! Others, I can hardly see their relevance. I'm sure it'll make sense in the end.

Very exciting and already terrible.

It's frightening and depressing.

Wow, this is moving. Post-apocalyptic dystopian fiction sometimes feels like a cop-out, but this is working.

Much the same as the previous books in the series, but he has the space to go back and explore more of the character's roots.

So far it is very gripping, exciting, but rather gory.

It's beginning to get to me. The book is very readable—there's no reason to be afraid to start. The fear comes from the content.
