Its like Le Carre without the long character sketches (my favourite part) and not quite as strong a mystery. So... still quite good ye ken, but... well, still time. Still think its warming up... still...

Started in on this. Not hooked yet. Possibly due to the use of present tense aka the authorial choice I will never understand. Maybe because you could have replaced the main character with a robot and no one would have noticed. Still, its all set up very nicely.
