Alptekin Canatar _ljas_rinssi — Classic story of daily life of dirt-poor families in Mexico City. Unbelievable. Great anthropological/sociological study. These people you get to know very intimately.

Denis Jecev denisjecev — Slow start, but the end makes it worth it.

Hasan Sakız hakanyslk — This book contains the first 2 novels in MacLeod's "The Fall Revolution" series. The first one, The Star Fraction is a near-future cyberpunk-ish story set in a balkanized version of the UK after WW III. The second one, The Stone Canal A Novel, is partly set before the first novel and partly far in the future. The Star Fraction reminded me of more politically-focused early William Gibson novel - but not in a good way. Despite having been written 10 years after Neuromancer, it somehow came across as more dated, probably at least in part because Gibson didn't know much about computers, whereas MacLeod tried to drop in some then-current computer terms and technologies which now seem dated. The main character is Moh Kohn, a security mercenary who accidentally obtains information/technology that could change the world. Other characters are a scientist working on proscribed technology, and a teenage kid escaping from a hyper-religious enclave. Expect lots of political arguments and glimpses at the hard life of a political splinter group interrupted by the occasional action scene. I barely felt any connection with any of the characters and at several points almost stopped reading, despite the fact that the future history MacLeod created is actually quite interesting. The Stone Canal A Novel alternates telling two stories, the first one focusing on the life Jonathan Wilde, showing glimpses of his life as a student in the 70's, 80's and 90's, and the second one of his adventures on New Mars in the far future. Once again, expect a considerable amount of political discussions. Fortunately, Wilde is actually an interesting character, making this second novel a more enjoyable read. Also, reading his story puts the first book in perspective and explains a lot of the events that led up to the Fall Revolution (leading me to think that it would actually make more sense to read book 2 before book 1). However, I thought the far-future story set on New Mars was far less interesting and that the novel completely derailed towards the end. I don't think I'll be reading the final two books in the series, which are due to be re-released by Tor as "Divisions" later this year.
