Another spy thriller from my grandpa :) I actually liked the other one better. This one is good, but there are so many characters... I can't keep them all straight. Also, the author of this must be really, really smart, because he keeps going off into these random tangents about the sciencey-technical parts of the book, and I have no idea what he's talking about. So then it's harder to figure out why various bits are so important, and I end up piecing together what happened from what people say about it afterwords.
Another thing I don't like about this book is one of the main characters, Stu Garret, who is the president's chief-of-staff. You know how there are some people who, when you're around them, you just automatically get annoyed with them, and they rub you the wrong way no matter what they do? This guy would do that to me. I was in a bad mood when I finished one of the chapters of this because it was all about this guy, and he was annoying me so much! He has this super angry personality, and everytime anyone says anything to him, he has to disagree, and he blames everyone else for his problems. Like, he was yelling at these Secret Service agents for two pages straight because their senator was sniped, and it wasn't their fault at all, but he was all, I'll have your badges for this, you'll never amount to anything if you can't even keep this guy safe! I want to jump in the book and slap this guy across the face.
I'm hoping he dies before the end of the book. That would make me so happy...

After reading your post for Quantum Ethics, I had to come see what you were reading now... I don't think i'll read the book your reading now though because there are too many people like that already, thats why I like fantasy and sci-fi books better
