This is really a 3.5 in my mind. It's sci fi, a genre that usually does not appeal to me, and detective story at the same time. Think Hitchhiker's Guide meets The Maltese Falcon. It has all the usual Lethem humor and truly pleasing moments, images you'll never forget and an interesting plot. But, ultimately, at the end, I didn't care much about exactly how it was going to end. The novelty had worn off for me. I still recommend it as a fun read! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/267269?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
