Helpful Score: 1

I didn't hate this book too much to read it, but it wasn't what I expected from one of my favorite authors. When an author writes himself into his own book (as an asshole, no less), that's a bad sign. When an author basically updates an earlier novel (Microserfs), that's a worse sign. And when an author feels the need to fill page after page of pointless, HUGE text, that's a nail in the book's coffin.

I'm really afraid to read the two novels that he's written since, but I'm hoping he was just having a bad year.
