Well... read it the seccond time around - and still think it is an OK read. Not the best book out there, not the worst. It might even be a really decent book for a nice sunny, lazy day on the beach, if you are into that kind of fiction.

Granted, there is heaps of psychological mumbojumbo, one dimensional characters that react purely to their environs without any motivation/instincts for themselves and loads of weird computer-science-we-have-to-explain-something-or-make-an-escape-possible reality bending in there, but it is fiction. So I reckon it is supposed to be this way - allthough in this case it is sometimes very badly masked and quite obvious why the author needs it.

The only thing that really got on my nerves is the whole flashback, insane mass-murderer sideline. It is just pointless and hasn´t got any influence on the main plot or the characters themselves. Quite the opposite in fact - I found it hugely distracting and a chore to read. Even more so, when I got to the end of the book and the whole side plot is resolved in the most unsatisfying way possible.
