Title: This book stinks.
Review: I read Kerr's "A Philosophical Investigation" last year. Having enjoyed it a lot, and having read several favorable reviews of "The Grid", I figured I'd give it a try.Boy, did I get taken.The writing in "The Grid" is awful, the characters two-dimensional (cold-hearted architectural genius, overweight programmer, tough cop, etc.), and the plot laughable---a kid's computer games get into the control system of a "smart" building, which then proceeds to kill people off one by one. I'd call it a second-rate pastiche of Crichton, except that even when he's writing badly (e.g. "Rising Sun"), Crichton does better than this. And while it might be a minor point to some people, it really irks me that Kerr keeps getting his technology wrong. If you know anything about computers, science, or architecture, you'll spot howlers on every second page.If you're thinking of buying this book, don't; try Zencey's "Panama" instead
