Full of weaponized snark, this book was a sort of nerd-porn pick-me-up that entertained me for a couple of hours. What\u2019s not to like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My only problem with this book was sometimes it was a little too meta for me, but I understand that is the writer\u2019s style and I have come to expect it. Since the story is quite short there isn\u2019t much depth to the characters but just enough to serve the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story was good – just enough explanation of the science to make it barely believable enough, but nobody in this book is taking things too seriously and it would be a shame if the reader did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is good to read stories like this now and then, as sort of an amuse-boche before your next book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I\u2019m reading Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
