3.0

What I really like about the book are the ideas and the world, the overall premise and how it keeps you on your toes with constant revelations. What I didn't care for are the sterile characters and the constant hostility.
While this isn't non-stop action and more a game of threats and manipulation, it clearly had the tone of an action movie. If there had been something for me to latch on to I would have really enjoyed the story, but as it was, it lacked any kind of emotional Impact. Still a very easy and quick read.
