An entertaining read - the pacing was acceptable, and there was a bit of a mystery, which was kind of fun. Eventually, though, little things started to nag at me - I found the characters to be very flat (including the narrator) and the writing style didn't really do much for me - too many "presume"s and "small wager"s. Also, the science was much too soft for my liking, and I found I had to seriously suspend my disbelief one too many times. All this combines to make the book acceptable light fare, but nothing to out of your way for.
