Glasshouse

Glasshouse Glasshouse by Charles Stross


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was my first Charles Stross and I liked it. It was a struggle to get started, if I were a try the first fifty pages person I would have given up. The technology and way of life at the start were introduced with a very steep learning curve, I had no idea that this would level out but am glad I lasted long enough to find out. The bulk of the story lies in a world more recognisable by us but a mystery to the characters, cool. It turned nicely into an excellent murder mystery thriller that was quite the page turner, and had an ending that was both a surprise and a pleasure. I will read more from Charles.
