Pros: Fiction written so well that it make you wonder if its fact Cons: Complex story was hard to follow at times

Pros: Great Read, beleivable, captivating right up to the last line of the book Cons: So complex you almost have to take notes.

Pros: Interesting premise, seamless plot Cons: Exposure to the extreme underside of society may offend
