This book was a snoozefest for the first 300 pages. Literally. I couldn't read more than 20 pages without falling asleep. It just didn't hold my interest. There was so much technical talk about cameras and networking and servers as well as a ton of named characters whom I could not keep straight. The book seemed to be 100 pages too long. There was a lot of repetition and I just didnt find the story all that interesting. The ending was slightly redeeming but by then, I just wanted it to end.
