3.0

If this book was just YT and Fido, it would have been a lot better. The philsophizing and religion just got repetitive by the end, especially when it all felt like Hiro was just saying the same things over and over. By the end section, I skipped most of it and still understood what was happening. The chase scenes and all of the Kourier and skate scenes are really well paced and fun.  
There is a gratuitous sex scene with a minor and an adult that was off putting, because it doesn’t seem to be addressed in a significant way from YT’s point of view. It made uncomfortable and was another section that I skipped.  
overall, it was a fairly fast and enjoyable read.
