I liked this as a popcorn read, you munch it down without thinking a lot about what you're doing and then forget it. Deaver's formula is to introduce a suspect and make everything point that way, and then "A-HA", it's not them. Easy to figure out since you know there's still 2/3 of the book to go. Colter's background was very interesting and I liked how lessons of the past dictate his moves (true for any of us I guess). One big subplot involving his dad, and another little one (where DOES he get his money?). I know almost nothing about the computer gaming world, but the part of the plot about collecting user data - c'mon, no one is so naive today as to be surprised by any of that right? The main plot seemed awfully complicated but hey, it's entertainment. I enjoyed it, I'd buy one in an airport bookstore, but I won't actively seek out the next.
