Perry was my favorite from the exec staff. I love how he was “retired” but still knew all the company’s business because no one had cut him off from having access to the reports.

I have to say that it was very suspenseful. I liked the author’s style and will probably read him again as long as it’s not another computer/tech story.

I think it’s probably not so important to follow the story. Ironically, no one in the story knew how the blue boxes worked either.

I really wondered if I would like it, but once I got to know the people I really wanted to see what would happen to them and who it was that would bring Robbie down. I knew he didn’t deserve to have everything work out for him but at the same time I didn’t want him to get caught either.

The tech stuff was a little hard at first. I was definitely worried. The people part had me hooked.

I loved Shimmer! There were parts that I had to concentrate on, but I particularly loved the dialogue. The interaction between the executive staff was hilarious. .-= Bookfool, aka Nancy´s last blog ..June Reads in Review (2009) =-.

It actually sounds like it could be a very intriguing and ethical read. Technical stuff like that though does tend to lose me...too complicated, but with the human thread there it sounds like the book turned out to be a good read. .-= Staci´s last blog ..Review: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie =-.

I don't know if I'd be able to follow a technology thriller or not. There was something about computers in a book I was listening to and I had to get Vance to explain it to me. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Review: Finger Lickin’ Fifteen =-.

I love the sound of this story, it sounds like a thrilling read. I just think I would struggle with the technical side of the first few chapters. .-= vivienne´s last blog ..Girls In Trucks by Katie Crouch =-.

Hummm. I'm not sure that this would be a good match for me. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Review: Delectable Mountains by Earlene Fowler =-.
