Negative Positive
Title: Lots of promise, but not reward ...
Review: I really tried to like this book. I think the concept of seeing the world through a filter of 'noir' is awesome. I also think the setting of this novel is very interesting in a Gibsonesque way. But. When I noticed the protagonist is called McNihil, and an office early in the book is called "Foucault & Derrida", I felt like throwing the book out of the window. IMO, this book has some very good ideas, but the execution is awful I gave up on reading it 20 pages from the end - too irritating. I expected more from a personal friend of PKD.
Is the review positive or negative?
