"This book has feral fridges in it seriously what else do you want? Oh yeah and the plot is great. Although I'm not convinced the fridges were actually necessary."
— Jasmine (4 out of 5 stars)
“Cleverly written.”
— Publishers Weekly" Simply put, Tim Scott tries to be Douglas Adams but in a run-down city in the future and with a plot that was confusing and left me disconnected from the characters. I would recommend this book to no one. "
— Diana, 2/18/2013" a silly douglas adams-like detective story set in seattle. "
— Elizabeth, 11/9/2011" This book is worth reading purely for the entertaining fridges. They are escaped! I love them! Who needs more than wild fridges to make a novel work? "
— Charlotte, 6/26/2011" I didn't love this book. Sorry. It had elements of some of the great sci-fi books, but, was not richly textured enough. It was however, a very quick read. "
— Kikifoucault, 10/31/2010" This book was bizzare. Truly bizzare. But not in a bad way. "
— Kharm, 7/15/2010" Overly rich with metaphors. "
— Bon, 6/24/2010" Amusing but I always felt like I was missing something. It was 1984 mixed with Hitchhikers Guide which is two of my favorite books, so in theory I should love this book. Sadly, I did not. "
— Sarah, 5/9/2010" A fairly mediocre novel with a few bright spots. "
— Tim, 7/25/2009" Who can resist intelligent major appliances? "
— David, 5/3/2009" A rare attempt into the world of Sci-Fi Comedy which sadly falls short. I thought his first book was better. I found this one to be choppy with all these little short chapters. It reminded me a little of Douglas Adams. I believe I read that he wrote it while commuting which explains alot. "
