Lock In
By
John Scalzi
Book number 34 on the reading blitz turned out to be a head spinner! I picked up this book (mainly to make an educated vote for the GoodReads awards! Shame on me for falling behind on some of 2014's finest "movers and shakers!"
Scalzi's "Lock In" is being nominated for some of this years best fiction and I have to admit that my mind was a bit overwhelmed! I felt like I was reading a modern version of Isaac Asimov. (John...believe me that is a compliment). I was lost for the first 50 or so pages, but once I learned the lingo and the terminology I was back into the thick of the plot!
It's a good book and I would recommend NOT putting it down until you understand where Scalzi is taking you. At times he is simply on a different plain as an author but does enough explaining (along the way) to bring the reader up to speed!
