Iain Bertram

Urk, definitely left a bad taste.

10% in, still no plot, far l!

This book has two things going for it. A great premise and CERn (the protagonist was on D0 + 1 star).

Unfortunately the writing is poor. Far too much time is spent exploring the philosophy and cod physics of the flash forward and not enough exploring the characters and the impact on their lives. As for the ending. Bleachh.

This is a curates egg. Good in parts.

I really enjoyed the introductory sections on how constraints effect the form and content of music. The how to guide on recording is also fascinating.

Unfortunately it gets metaphysical and sucks quite a bit towards then end. Worth picking out the good bits.

Not for me!
