A friend recommended this book to me after I told him I was into SciFi/Fantasy. I probably should have told him that I'm more into the Fantasy side. I saw that this book was highly recommended and won a ton of awards but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I think that it was just too out there. I had trouble following the storyline or actually recognizing the story line. In fact, I had to go back and read the end a couple of times as I thought I was missing something. After reading the couple of pages at the end from another author talking about [a:William Gibson 9226 William Gibson http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1282769227p2/9226.jpg] I got more from what the book was about then the book itself. I guess I just don't like to go that deep into reading my books. However, I also had similar feelings about the Mars trilogy from [a:Kim Stanley Robinson 1858 Kim Stanley Robinson http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1217240935p2/1858.jpg] and I find myself thinking of those books in different situations. I really don't see that happening with this book as there wasn't much “human” interactions or I didn't get it at least. I need to have more personal relationship development than this book provided.
