I often complain about writers explaining at me, but that's because most of them aren't very good at it.
RJB does it neatly but thoroughly, so that the eventual delivery of key scenes carry real weight. I already bought the other two books, which was smart, considering how this one ends, lots of balls in the air, potential everywhere. I read fairly fast, but this one took me two months, and I suspect the rest of the trilogy to be similar. This is a bizarre world with strange things going on, and it amuses me that he took programming and built a fantasy world on it. But this world is also messy and gritty and all too human. Classic RJB.
