The Quantum Thief Audiobook

" Certainly worth reading, but I can't help thinking that this should've been a much meatier novel. We get glimpses of the enormously imaginative setting, but mostly _just_ glimpses. "

" Takes a while to get going, ends up quite good. I don't read a lot of harder sci-fi; it was a little hard to get past some of the made-up terminology since it's never really explained, but you learn to roll with it. Ended up enjoying it, but I did consider abandoning it once or twice. By the end there is some very cool stuff going on, plotwise. "

" I enjoyed this book, though it was often smug and infuriating in a lot of ways. Though if you go into it with the mindset of something that is unapologetically "cool", it can be a lot of fun, which is a feeling that a lot of current sci-fi lacks. "

" Not the most well written but it is a stunning example of world building. It is also a book that appeals to the senses. This was the most fun read I've had in a while. "

" I just started reading this and so far it's hard to digest. I'm enjoying unravelling the mystery, though. "

" Wow. Not since I stumbled across Charlie Stross have I read a writer who seemed ... um ... a quantum leap ahead of me in terms of thinking about the future. Not sure whether the general reader would get all of this book, but it seems to me that Hannu Rajaniemi is a writer that any aspiring -- or practicing! -- writer of sf ought to know about. "

" Didn't finish this. Way too hardcore for me. "

" Rajaniemi creates a wildly engaging universe. It's hard to describe how deep the sci-fi elements go. I was overwhelmed by the crazy directions the author has technology from the future going. Overall, a good book with a solid story and a fantastic galactic setting. I look forward to the sequel. "

" That'll teach me not to trust literary reviews in the newspaper. If this is what passes for good sci fi these days then the genre is dead. "

" Once I got a general idea of the tech and the world that was being described, I fell into this book completely. I loved it. "

" I'm going to have to go back and read this again, now that I've read The Fractal Prince. Interesting style, but not a casual read. "

" Characters good, plot was good, though it got a bit muddled at times. "

" I really liked this book. There are more good ideas on a page than were really good for the story! I had a slow read with this one - but liked it. Great idea of sharing memories as communication. "

" Made it to the third chapter and bailed.<br/><br/>Sorry, but too much techno-babble with NO context leaves me cranky. "

" Excellent book bring on the sequel nothing more to be said "

" A little tough on start. But when you got enough information... It`s like a landslide. Happy one. "

" Read the blurb and fancied it, but it all became a bit labyrinthine for me. Found some clever touches and wordplay but left me cold. "

" I received this book through goodreads first reads giveaway.<br/><br/>I'll put up a longer review later. Let me just say that this is one of the BEST BOOKS I;ve read in the last ten years. I loved it so much I'm going to buy a copy of the actual ahrdcover to have. "
