A little more than a year ago I acquired this book from a neighbor who was getting rid of boxes and boxes of books and was kind enough to let me root through them beforehand. The front cover design and back cover synopsis spoke to me (much like a bag of Combos does at a rest stop during a long trip). I stuck it in...

The curse of the missing half star strikes again. Calling this book a three would be a disservice, but it's not quite entertaining enough to be a full four.

What did you have for breakfast three Mondays ago? Was it raining that day? Can you remember?
What about a trauma you experienced or witnessed? Is it fuzzy edged, made indistinct by adrenaline and fear? Is it perhaps better that you don’t remember all the details?

Looking for a new author, found this gem in the SciFi section of B&N. After reading the 1st page, was completely hooked. This is the sequel to a previous book titled Signal To Noise. If you are looking for scifi that is completely outside the realm of standard scifi, if you think scifi is just about robots...

Heathern, the sequel to Ambient and Terraplane, has been praised by William Gibson as a "savage urban baroque informed by a penetrating humanity ... his best so far!" Tautly written and appallingly funny, Heathern is a dystopian tale of corporate combat and media warfare in the fading years of our century.

"Rendezvous with Rama": listened to the audio version of this book. I'm not a big fan of the science fiction genre, but my husband is; he chose this audiobook for our road trip in Michigan (he had read the book years earlier).

This book tried to be too many things at once: Political drama, religious drama, family drama and a kidnapping/murder mystery. It didn't do any of them badly, but also not as well and it could have.
(This review will be spoiler free for this book, but not for the first three)
