This was definitely a page turner, even more so than the last book I read by him, Cell. The only complaint I would have would be the author's constant mention of a main character's race. You can tell the author attempted to paint the character in a positive light, but the stereotypical descriptions outweighed this attempt. Every time the character was mentioned, so was his race, which was unnecessary, didn't add to the storyline at all and was actually pretty offensive. Any time the character defied a stereotype in a good way, the author made it seem as though it was a shocking surprise that "his type" could actually be smart and literate. Other than that, decent read.
