I think the biggest problem with this book is the absurd framework it is set in - that a super smart game designer has invented an all powerful artificial intelligence computer the size of a water drop that can control anything and has now been stolen.
The writing is good as are the characters and plot development however the absurd framework makes is distracting when they sticky tape the blob onto something and it magically becomes more functional et cetera. It really does break from the immersion of whats going on with the characters and reminds you how silly the scenario is.
Asides for that though, it is actually pretty enjoyable once you put that aspect aside.

Hmmmm, well I had to give up with this one. I felt in the mood for a good thriller and thought this would suit, but I soon got very, very bored. For a book written in first person, there is a hell of a lot of conversation, with little thought going on in the narrator's head. Even though he is kind of tricked into helping the woman (and I can't even remember her name!), I couldn't drum up any enthusiasm to find out how the story continued. So, as 'Life is too short to read bad books', this one will continue on its BookCrossing journey soon.
