A review by halski
Glasshouse by Charles Stross
1.0
Good ideas for a short story, but as a novel, it falls flat and disintegrates into a crimson puddle. Stross tells, doesn't show, and as a writer he's quite dull.
I wanted to give it another star for the ideas and the references to The Prisoner, but I just can't; the latter actually started getting so overt that they actually did more harm than good. A good ending could have saved a lot, but this one was really, really rushed, and failed to gather the pieces, which were all over the place.
