Parts of this book reminded me of _Nightfall_ by Asimov, but people may not often agree with me. At the very end, I was reminded a little bit of _The Giver_. I enjoyed the book even though it turned out to be different than I expected.

I got to chapter 3 and had to stop. Writing style (too simple, too conversational, too amateurish) is not for me.

Way too many incredibly long and run-on sentences kept me from paying attention - had to stop.

The writing style didn't mesh with me very well: it was choppy and pretty shallow, I thought.

Extremely comprehensive and not as dry as you might expect. My only complaint is of the incredible number of inset “highlights” which interrupts the reading (and highlighting for notes).

I wasn't as hooked from this one as from the first in the series. It seemed to stray from the overall plot much more, though maybe that feeling becomes clear after finishing the series. Also felt very _Through the Looking Glass_ to me, again moreso than the first book. I'm still interested in continuing to the next book though, after a break.

A very cute and incredible heartwarming book about a fascinating individual. The guy on the bike sounds friendly too!

So far, incredibly accurate detail in a Internet hack/crime drama, really worth the read if you are into networks, unix, security, etc.

Rereading another great book from Tom Clancy. I am reading the new Amazon Kindle version of this as well. Have noticed maybe a dozen or more mistakes in the text, many times a '1' in place of a 'i'. Anyway, I am glad it is out for the Kindle - the way Amazon handles that is cool too: if an updated version comes available, I have the right to get the revised (better edited) version for free.

Wonderfully awesome book!
Captivating and enjoyable
This is (or was) a free Kindle book and what a great way to make me buy future books - this was really enjoyable with some unique characters, great plot, some basic philosophy thrown in and some laugh out loud humor. Great read!
