Historia
Featuring Inspector Dreyfus - one of Alastair Reynolds' most popular characters - this is a fast-paced SF crime story, combining a futuristic setting with a gripping tale of technology, revolution and revenge. One citizen died a fortnight ago. Two a week ago. Four died yesterday...and unless the cause can be found - and stopped - within the next four months, everyone will be dead. For the Prefects, the hunt for a silent, hidden killer is on....

John Lee is John Lee but Alastair Reynolds is more of the same
Revisado: 04-22-20
It’s not a bad book, but feels more like an expansion pack. Doesn’t really bring anything new to the table, nor do our characters grow in any meaningful way. The twists and turns are also extremely obvious or don’t pack any punch.
The universe it takes place in is interesting and thank goodness for John Lee’s awesome narration which makes it a good read.

Historia
Prince Myshkin, is thrust into the heart of a society more concerned with wealth, power, and sexual conquest than the ideals of Christianity. Myshkin soon finds himself at the center of a violent love triangle in which a notorious woman and a beautiful young girl become rivals for his affections. Extortion, scandal, and murder follow, testing the wreckage left by human misery to find "man in man."

A story about an idiot
Revisado: 06-13-18
No, Prince Myshkin is not analogue to Christ. Innocence is not wisdom. Myshkin is an idiot, a fumbling child. At first you sympathise with him and then you end up despising him. His worldly inexperience accidentally drags people into his meaningless life and likewise allows himself to be dragged into others. At first I thought he was everything but an idiot, thinking it was a joke on the authors part. By the end you realise the book is full of idiots all in their own way. A brilliant tale and an amazing performance.

Historia
Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a titanic figure among the world's great authors, and The Brothers Karamazov is often hailed as his finest novel. A masterpiece on many levels, it transcends the boundaries of a gripping murder mystery to become a moving account of the battle between love and hate, faith and despair, compassion and cruelty, good and evil.

Brilliant

Brilliant work by a great author. Can be slow at times but it builds up beautifully. I can't wait to get into Crime and Punishment.
