charleshb 's review for:
Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
by Cory Doctorow
This was a very strange book. It started off slowly, and I wasn't sure I would keep reading it. After all life is too short to finish bad books. However, about page 60 or so, just as I was about to give up the story grabbed me. Endless twists and turns. Flashbacks, interwoven threads of narrative. Fantasy and tech geekdom combined to make a very good book. I'm not sure I liked the way the fairy tale ended. I wonder if there is more to come in the story of the brothers Alan/Adam/Arn/etc, Ben/Brad/Billy/etc and Davey/Dan/Dirk/etc. By the last hundred and fifty or so pages it had turned from a story I wasn't sure I would finish to a tale I didn't want to put down. Good read.
