3.0 out of 5 stars
an entertaining Sci-Fi/ mystery tale with plenty of hi -tek,
By A Customer
This review is from: Greenthieves (Paperback)
The book is wellw ritten, with some rather interesting characters.Greenthieves' main characters include two robots Moses and the Minder which both have a growing self awareness. This provides some interesting situations, but is not fully explored.The plot is not thin,and does leave one wondering at times exactly "who done it".This is one of the things that kept me reading through to the end.Greenthieves is not the type of book where you ponder over the next move of the characters or the villain,from the book's beginning you're preetty sure what the "bad guy" will do next.You either read the book because you enjoy the rather linear storyline,and the characters presented, or you put it down because of the minder's sometimes interrupting and annoying narration:).
