Thanks Net Galley and Little, Brown Company for providing me with a free galley. I already had a signed first edition, but it's so much easier for me to read books on my iPad. I was very excited to receive this galley, I had been wanting to read it since it came out. Unfortunately, it was tedious, v...
Mmmm.. I think maybe dystopia is not my thing. There are some interesting ideas in this novel, including how to set up a civilization without structure and what we're willing to give up for safety.

The comment sections on that site are a bit anemic, so the boost was nice. But, maybe he should have read the book first. I don’t want to sound mean, but really....
California has been getting a lot of press thanks to Steve Colbert’s feud with Amazon. Unfortunately, it is one of those novels that can never live up to the hype. While it is a decent thriller, it is no life-changing story. Given the talk and excitement about it, California is bound to disappoint m...
Pretty damn wonderful. I've now read this three times. I confess: I know Edan, but I don't like anyone that much to make me rave (rather than issue a polite 4-star "Huzzah!" with exactly that kind of formal stiffness which ought to give readers of such reviews pause), let alone re-read. (Who's go...
