Status Updates From Deepdrive

It's been a week and 10 pages and I like this book even less.

I've resorted to downloading the pdf and having Adobe read it to me in its 2006 text-to-speech robot voice. Yes, it reads the page number, title and author every page, in mid-sentence. Why not quit, you wonder? Well I'm not going to give a reason, similar to this book giving no reasons for it's characters' actions.

Ugh... this plot... I don't understand ANY of the character's motivations. I've been asking myself why I'm reading it and the only thing I can admit is that it has some cool sci-fi concepts.

This books makes me believe that I could write sci-fi novels. Maybe that's why I keep reading, for the inspiration...

This one's a real clunker. I feel like it was written in a rush with only one rough draft.

Uck. The characters lack depth and their motivations are vague. I think I'm reading a bad action movie. I wish it had an audio format so I can do something more fun while I experience this one

I trust goodreads' aggregate scores very much but it's made me realize that I am a stingy critic. That being said, this book is gonna suck! But if I'm the type to buy random sci-fi books at random used book stores I gotta bite the bullet sometimes. Here we go!

more of a noir story, that just happens to be sci-fi
