paperbackmo's review against another edition
3.0
Read the blurb and it had me hooked. I love books of this genre. The prologue is really good and you can tell the story is going to be good/deep. This book certainly makes you think and isn't really a lighthearted read or something you can just read on a whim.
However, as the book progressed I found myself getting confused and thought that a lot of things weren't explained properly. It turned into more of a 'murder mystery' type book instead of a futuristic technological thing. The story started getting very interesting towards the end and got better and better. Until the ending was so boring it kind of ruined it for me and let me down. In hindsight, I'm not sure I should've spent any money on it.
It left a lot of questions unanswered..

Some really novel, interesting, weird ideas here. We approve of such things.

This was a decent enough book. The writing was fine, the characters were alright, but I never really got into it. In spite of it not being that bad, I really had to force myself to read it. But at least I can finally get it off my TBR.

Best book i've read this year.
Great plot, great characters, great pacing, laugh-out-loud funny in spots, and one that will leave you thinking afterwards.
Designer drugs, religion, spooks and killers, all come together for a whirlwind of a ride.
Highly recommended

Plutôt bonne pioche pour moi avec After Party de Daryl Gregory, proposé par Babelio pour la dernière Masse Critique.
