Not your typical "big bang" Banks ending -
I think I got used to much to the way Ian Banks ends his stories, they always end in the least expected way, with a huge surprise that he's been building up to since the first page. This book is no different, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect more. It did got me thinking though: is the end ... (continue)

Not just a book for economists
-
When I bought it I thought it's going to be all about economical trends and how to go from small to big, how to make that transition. But it turned out to be a book about human behavior, and the study of that behavior, and how to take those results and focus them in an economical way.

Starcraft II: Heaven's Devils

A really bad StarCraft novel by all measures. It gives you the feeling that it's been written to the mentally challenged who have a fascination with the marines.
It can be read, it wont put you to sleep, and maybe you will like it if you're into marines and not interested in starcraft, but if you're a starcraft fan, or a fan of good books and good science fiction, you wont enjoy it.
