This book had me in its grip most of the time. The prose is straight forward, smart, and agonizing (in a good way). I have a few things I find unbelievable. Regardless, 4.5 from 5. I will round up and shall be reading the next one. Thanks for the ride Butler!

“But cities were always dangerous. More gangs, more cops, more suspicious, nervous people with guns. You tiptoe through cities. You keep up a steady pace, keep your eyes open, and try to look both too intimidating to bother and invisible. Neat trick.”

There is a lot I want to comment, a lot that I would love to quote. I just can manage to tear myself away to do it. This is one hell of a terrible, disturbingly realistic, dystopian future.
