tanaiseIf I'd read Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom any faster, it would have taken me longer to earn the money to buy the book than it did to read it. :-) Or at least as long. I'm lucky that I was multitasking or it would have probably taken me no more than an hour to read it. It took about an hour and a half as it was, and while I wanted it to be longer, I was happy with it as it was. I'll explain later. :)
It's funny. In retrospect, I think it should have taken me longer to read than it did, because it's a complicated world that he set up. But, it didn't. It was very smooth reading, so even when things seemed weird--deadheading, whuffie, stuff like that--you didn't have time to slow down and wonder about it, and besides, it was explained soon after. I liked this book. Not that it was a surprise. I'm a sucker for cyberpunk. I really am. I want to be online.
I liked the length because it ended just perfectly. I would like to know more, but I don't *need* to know more. I wanted the book to be longer, but reasonably, I know that had it been much longer it's possible that the world would have started to really annoy me. I'm sensitive that way.
