Advantages: twisting and turning, frighteningly real, fantastic writing style
Disadvantages: not long enough, no plans for a sequel as yet
As many of you know I am not a big reader of books, but again I have been astounded by a fabulous novel. Again this is a book that was given to me to read, whilst on holiday. My friend's words as he handed it over where "You'll like this, its all about computers." but this novel took me into a world that I had never dared dreamed would exist. As a young, website designer is waiting for a friend to arrive in a cofee shop she is approached by a vaguely familiar face...and the rest is beautiful crime. Twisting and turning through a serial murder investigation, the author takes us into the life of a hacking wizard who is brought out of jail to help the police try to solve a series of mystifying murders. A terminology guide is provided at the start of the noval for those of you not familiar with the world of hacking. As the story continues it is enough to frighten the reader into checking their own security system on their PC. A compelling read,(I read it twice, getting to the last page and starting again), it is impossible to put down as you become drawn into a cyber world, and you do hope that the story could never become a true one, as it is very frightening, and a real possibility in the future. All in all this book is fantastic and even though I am not a big novel reader I am looking at getting more of the author's titles as his style of writing is magical, drawing the reader into the investigation as it progresses. I would recommend that this book is read by anyone who uses the internet in any way at all.

- 09/06/02 It really was a great book wasn't it - I liked it so much that I managed to get a crown for my op!! I have read tons of Deaver's now and if you are looking for is best ones (apart from this one obviously) then read the Lincoln Rhymes and Amellia Sachs ones, starting with Bone Collector, then The Empty Chair and The Coffin Dancer, followed by Stone Monkey(if I were pushy I would tell you to read my ops on those books but I am not so do what you like!! ha ha). I can't remember what order the middle two go in but it doen't really make much of a difference anyway.... enjoy!! :0) |

- 03/06/02 Hi there! You stress twice that you're not a great reader. Why not, what's wrong with reading? Reading is wonderful, I wouldn't know what to do without books. Cheers, Malu |
