Arrived today. Thank you very much! I'm very much looking forward to reading this. I've recently started re-reading Otherland, though, so it'll have to wait on my Mount TBR for a while.

Thanks again for sending me the novel. It was hard to put down. I'm still wondering what the ending might mean. I think I'd like to watch the series now and read more by the author.

This travels on to Lilo37fee who has it on her wishlist.

Enjoy!

I must admit that it was very difficult for me to read the book, maybe I should have tried it in German. But I read "Do androids dream" in English and found it brilliant. So maybe it is not only because of my English that i found the book so hard to read.
The premise of this novel is very interesting. But I found it extremely hard to follow some of the story lines. Neither the alternate timeline nor the characters were sufficiently fleshed out. However, I liked the ending.
