Well Mr. Vinge I have finished your book. I have a few different thoughts that seem to be the concencous of others who have read your book. First of all I liked it. It listened to it as an audio book and overall it was a positive experience. As I walked from school and work and everywhere in between I became part of the world you created and it was interesting.
Second, I didn't like is that it felt kind of choppy. There was an exciting action story and a thought provoking story but the two were far from masterfully intertwined. I love how Ben Wagner described your book on his blog. He said, " Essentially it felt like I read two different books." And I completely agree.
Third, though choppy I did really enjoy both story lines. It really made me think and I drew a lot of connections to my own life. Please though just finish the book. Instead of having a few loose ends I feel like you only had a few that were tied off.
Finaly, if I hear one more description about a wearable I might explode. The first couple hours of being introduced to this new little gadget was very interesting, and made me dream of little computers in my eyes and all of the possiblities. But over the next couple of hours those dreams turned into reoccurring nightmares as you provide description after description of these nifty gadgets.
In conclusion Mr. Vinge I would probably read another one of your books out of curiosity more than anything else. You made me think a lot which I am grateful for, but it might not be enough for me to finish the whole thing.
Sincerely,
Taylor Gilbert
