This book is about 400 pages too long. It simply fails on all levels, it has a fractured story line, apparently takes place in some sort of dystopian society but doesn't really define or describe its limits. The characters are as thin as the paper aliases they use. It feels like the author has thought Oh drugs yeah we'll do that, add a bit of unnecessary but lengthy sexual descriptions, replace letters with symbols to make it look futuristic - now what else can we throw at it? - oh thats right a couple of fight scenes and gratuitous violence The only reason i finished this book was because i was given a copy through net galley - others should not waste their money
