Read a few more pages in the parking lot of a grocery while my wife went in to pick up a couple of essentials.

Gets very bloody, violent.

I intend to finish this but… it’s like B. B. King said: the thrill is gone.

Keep putting this book down. Haven’t been reading anything but newspapers and related mainstream (I.e., non-Right leaning) news items) These are times a man must stand up and do the boogaloo, to paraphrase James Brown.

Reading this between trips down to Manhattan to tend to elderly in-laws (responsibility comes with aging parents) and in doctors’ waiting rooms.

Tom Waits for no one.

Compelling!

Suddenly very violent. Compelling and well written.

This is has been alternately engaging and as cold as Pluto. The techno jargon is such a drag; the plot device intriguing: in order to solve a crime, the chief investigator travels to “a future” - as all potential futures are accessible. Only once observed by a traveler, that future ceases to exist.

Trip my aged ass out!

So far - absolutely brilliant. What a page turner!
