Title: Good Ambient No Punch
Review: I have Recently began reading SR novels after playing shadowrun for the past 4 years. It never accured to me that the novels could introduce something new to my experience, well i was wrong it does add a new side - the not down to earth view. This novel was a bit detached from the day to day struggle of a shadowruner , It gave a different prespective to the SR Janeiro but that's as far as it got.I did enjoyed the high level politics ( Vatican, Secret cults etc' ) and the feeling of the big brother watching you .I kept looking for that down to earth reasoning and all i got was a lot of talk ,speculation and one way blind alley storyline. The matrix descriptions where a bit dry and the hacking itself was boring. I could not relate to the "heroes" and the plot got thicker and thicker until the unresolved , unclear and abrupt end of the book that left me unsatisfied .All in all a disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
