"This is another HUGO for Sawyer!"
I just finished listening to it. Now I'm running out to buy the book. It's a keeper. It's a classic (never mind it's newly printed). It's Sawyer brilliance.
"Trilogy keeps getting better"
Yes, the story is very engrossing. Lots of interesting threads.
Wondering what would happen next.
Caitlin
Unfortunately, I was most moved to cringe every time the narrator mispronounced
A very interesting examination of consciousness in many contexts and at many levels.
"Almost Ruined"
I completely enjoyed "WWW: Wake" and was really looking forward to this book. However, the author almost ruined the story by wandering off on pro gay and anti God tirades in the book. I am in no way against an author putting what they want into a story to make a point as long as it has something to do with the story, which these tirades didn't. It was very obvious that they were put in for the authors own agenda. In fact he seemed to go out of his way to insult and belittle people who have a belief in God. The reason I really liked the first book was to see the growth of Caitlin and Webmind, as they discovered the world around them. So I was looking forward to seeing them in this book overcome the close-minded and bigoted attitudes of a society afraid of them, not to being bombarded by those same attitudes from the author. As to gay lifestyles and belief in God I leave that up to the individual, and find it very disappointing that the author chose to use this wonderful and potentially great story to promote his own agenda. But like I said He almost ruined the story. The story survived,barely. I got through this one despite it's short comings and have started the third book, hoping the author used more self control than in this book, because I really do want to know what happens to Caitlin and Webmind.
Moving on to book 3 crossing my fingers
"Disgusting"
Disgusted by the never-ending profanity, homosexuality, promotion of teen promiscuity, pushing of evolution and anti-Christian rhetoric. Could have skipped the first half of the book because of all the garbage the author was spewing. He should have spent more time on the plot instead of propaganda. Had a very weak ending. Will not even listen to the next book even though I already purchased it.
"Better than the first!"
Usually books hit a sophomore slump in a three part trilogy, but book number 2 just may be better than book 1. Worth a credit if you enjoyed the first!
"really enjoying this series."
very much enjoyed this book and audio books presentation of this book. hope the final book is as good.
"Can't wait for the next one!"
These not only are intelligent with quirky humor, but have a captivating story line. I blew through the first two books and already downloaded the third.
Also, an amazing performance by the multiple narrators.
A great book all the way around!
"Good thoughtful writing. Great middle of Trilogy."
Really intriguing sci fi about a conscious mind emerging from the world wide web. The characters are very engaging and sucked me into the story. And although it deals with serious themes it avoids cheap melodrama. If I have any complaints it would be that parts of the book are almost "preachy". The narration is good, featuring mĂșltiple voices, but because of that is not always the same quality.
"a great book and a great audible production"
read this book or listen to it. it's book two of three the 1st was good but this is the better if the two. I'll be listening to the 3rd next.
"Good and better"
Although one or two scenes might be a little disturbing, and I say this knowing some will buy the AB just reading that, the book is very well written and the performance excellent!
