"I like Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels, so I read this one. It doesn't quite measure up to them. It was a fast-paced read marred by some believability issues. Still, it was something entertaining to read while on the stationary bike."
"I read this immediately after reading The Closers (which was enjoyable) and found it very disappointing. OK, the research and the original concept are impressive, no doubt about that, but as potboiler thrillers go this one should be in the "straight to video" list. Good for reading on a journey as long as you don't want to think too much
This is a murder/missing person thriller based very tenuously on a conspiracy plot that ranks right up there with the best "Elvis was kidnapped by Martians" stuff. The computing science bit is interesting, (although the constant reference to silicon vs "molecules" annoyed me a bit as even basic chemistry at school taught me that silicon could itself form molecules...) and the missing person murder is standard fare but when they get mixed together it just becomes too unbelievable. There are too many assumptions that the main character is hardwired to behave in a certain way in just too many different situations. I can believe the childhood guilt stuff would start the process off but there are just too many twists and turns where a real person might have gone in another direction and caused the plot to fail."
"Intrigue and murder in the world of high technology. This story read more like something by Michael Chrichton than Michale Connelly. the ending is not as tight as you normally get from a Connelly finale and the final shootout wasn't as believable.
