I have read your reviews for a while and occasionally pick up something based on your review. I have never been disappointed and Little Brother was no exception. I could not put it down. It has been the first thing in months that has made me pause my infinite Battlestar Galactica marathon. Hackers is one of my favorite movies and this felt so much like it, but even better since it wasn't so ridiculous and outdated. Thanks for the great review otherwise I never would have picked this up!</p>hayden commented on '<i>Little Brother</i> -- Cory Doctorow'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e200e553182dd688332008-06-08T22:37:08Z2008-06-08T22:37:08Zhaydenhttp://soggylibrarian.blogspot.com/This book was a let-down for me.

I don't have a problem with the characterizations so much--I just didn't think it was very exciting. </p>
<p>**spoiler alert**</p>
<p>I didn't expect it to be as good as 1984, but I did think Doctorow might build some of that tension, where the protagonist just doesn't know who to trust and friends can turn out to be enemies. Instead, friends just turn out to be really good friends, and all the chicks really dig Marcus. So: not terrible, just not as good as I'd hoped.</p>aquafortis commented on '<i>Little Brother</i> -- Cory Doctorow'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e200e552b5752288342008-06-03T07:20:31Z2008-06-03T07:20:31Zaquafortishttp://profile.typekey.com/celfydd/Duuuuuude, free?

I feel guilty about the free download thing for some reason (?), but have sampled the first few pages, and the voice is VERY real. Can't wait to get home and get this one!</p>
