This book should read: 40 year old, wheelchair-bound bad ass kicks some serious butt in the matrix-- she thinks. I really, really enjoyed this firmly cyberpunk piece of science fiction-- it's interesting, well written, fast paced and definitely hard to put down. When you're first introduced to the main character, you don't expect the story to be that action-packed, but you're quickly surprised when the first network attack goes down and people's brains start melting. It's got this great flow to it that carries you along and keeps you guessing, lost in the labyrinthine passages of the mind, but it never really loses you. The execution of this particular mindfrak is perfect. Kudos to Strickland-- eighty thumbs way up.
It's rare that I get so into a book that I read it in a day, but dang. This one most definitely got me. A solid five out of five stars with the motivation to push into a sixth star, if only the scale had one.
