Silvana's review
of
Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries (Gobbelino London, PI, #1):
"2.5 stars.Started out fine - cute cat POV and love the British setting - but the enjoyment factor diminished as it became long winded, clunky, and repetitive."

“But there was a time when each of us stood naked before the world, confronting life as a serious problem with which we were intimately and passionately concerned... There was a time when Free Love versus Catholic Morality was a question of as much importance to our hot bodies as if a pistol had been clapped to our heads.
Further back, there were times when we wondered with all our souls, what the world was, what love was, what we were ourselves.”

Hi Allison, came by to check which Stephenson you've read. Sometimes I like approaching a living author with their most recent work rather than the old stuff that made their name; but perhaps not in his case... But I'm looking forward to the The Diamond Age re-read; looks like we'll have our fill of cyberpunk this semester.
