Advantages Great Read
Disadvantages Ending was convoluted with significant plot holes
Really enjoyable book if you like scif fi.
I wont go into the plot so much as its explained on the precis above and Amazon will probably do it better.
I like Sci-Fi and I liked this. I love Iain Banks and have to wait for him to write his next book each time so I am constantly looking around to find books that help me pass the time!
Charles Stross books (and in the past 2 months I have read 4 of them) are all inteilligent, fairly fast paced and witty.
Glasshouse has a Stepford wives come Truman Show feel with some interesting psychological/sociological aspects to refelct upon.
The plot at one point (well there may be more but I have a soft spot now) gets a little silly, just wait til you find out whats in the basement and how he wraps the story up, but because he's such a good story teller I went along with him and it worked. Not his best book but a cracking holiday read.
