My review of Charles Yu's rather spiffy debut title has now appeared in the Grauniad. Follow that link and you'll see what I have to say about it, and also see that the Guardian, despite me having pointed it out to them on several occasions, are still using the byline photograph of a completely different person.

That's why we call it the Grauniad.
Nah, it has to be you.
just picked this up, making for a joyous trifecta with the Quantum Thief and Tragic Universe
now if I can just get my mitts on the Dervish House...
Ohhhh.
I had wondered. I remember your author photograph looking rather a lot less like the Economist's news editor...
Of course what I meant to say was: fine review. I've had this one on the stack for months now, really must give it a good stroking sooner rather than later.
really loving this; in fact, used some of the plot ideas to promote discussion in class, although some of the more bitten-tongue-cheek concepts are a bit beyond a teenager's emotional mileage. Also sparked an idea for a short story I'm writing.
And the review was great, needless to say :)
Regenklang: thank you!
If you will have the same name as other people(a friend and colleague, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonga-Coup-Adam-Roberts/dp/1861979347) this is what you let yourself in for
If you must have the same name as other people (friend and colleague at The Economist, but not its news editor, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wonga-Coup-Adam-Roberts/dp/1861979347) you have only yourself to blame, and the late governor of Indiana agrees with me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Hazard_Perry_Morton
I blame myself.
