RaveWiredLike Cory Doctorow\'s Makers, Mr. Penumbra\'s 24-Hour Bookstore is filled with ideas and technology that may or may not exist yet but seem mostly plausible ... I loved diving into the world that Sloan created, both the high-tech fantasyland of Google and the ancient analog society. It\'s packed full of geeky allusions and wonderful characters, and is a celebration of books, whether they\'re made of dead trees or digits.
Nick Harkaway
RaveWiredHarkaway plays the English language like a mad virtuoso: he hits all the right notes but isn’t above throwing in a bit of ornamentation and jazzing things up ... If you appreciate a well-constructed sentence and have a thing for fast-talking British muckety-mucks, then you should read Angelmaker for the writing alone ...like a Quentin Tarantino movie written by Neil Gaiman: larger-than-life characters, dry British humor, a heavy dose of the weird, and a bit macabre; horrendous things wrapped up in gorgeous language ...a great, action-packed book that doesn’t treat the reader like an idiot. Harkaway alludes to things and then goes off in some other direction, eventually circling back around to connect the dots.
