3.0

This was less a series of interestingly interconnected stories and more a series of short stories, each told halfway then the endings revealed.  Which sounds interesting, until your in the last quarter and trying to remember whose story you're in and what the hell is going on.
The book was fine, the stories themselves were really engaging, I'm just a spoiled brat and wanted them all to actually connect in some way
