He is so grossly blatant in his writing that I tired of it quickly. And he is heavy-handed. I have an idea that watching it would be better than reading it. ( ) What a fabulous fun it has been! I am obviously a fan, but there is little to criticize if at all, as the story is extremely well written, with tons of Glaswegian speech that just makes me think of Frankie Boyle and laugh :) It's the first book where Angelique, wee but lethal police officer, gets to meet Simon Darcourt (both I met for the first time in the sequel to this book, so if you want to start in order, read this, and then the other two...). Her sidekick this time is a gaming expert, now teacher and brand new father, Ray, who proves out to be a great team player. Loved the book. I am very tempted to dive into the third in series, but I will wait a while, finish some of the other books already started, and then work on "A Snowball In Hell". entertaining, especially the university settings, and Simon Darcourt's rants on SSC's. It felt very familiar in tone, with similarities to another of Brookmyre's I read recently (high school kids locked in a mountain something or other); and to Charles Stross's Halting State.

Back when they were students, just like everybody else, Ray Ash and Simon Darcourt had dreams about what they'd do when they grew up. In both their cases, it was to be rock stars. Fifteen years later, their mid-thirties are bearing down fast, and just like everybody else, they're having to accept the less glamorous hands reality has dealt them. Nervous new father Ray takes refuge from his responsibilities by living a virtual existence in online games. People say he needs to grow up, but everybody has to find their own way of coping. For some it's affairs, for others it's the bottle, and for Simon it's serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination.
