A brought this book by chance and was impressed by the attempt to transform, plato's republic into the future state. The story centres around a private detective, who used to hold the same ideals as the state machinery, but has since fallen from grace. The intertwining of the clasic crime/thriller with the serious political comment does not quite work. I was left with the feeling that certain sentences were rather forced into the prose. However, the book is not boring or poor, just a good idea that has not quite been executed. Would make ideal easy beach reading.

I liked the idea of this - set in a future Edinburgh and a crime thriller. My cup of tea. Having lived in Edinburgh for over 10 years I enjoyed the constant tour of the city and places I am familiar with. The future in 2025 though is painted pretty bleak and at times a bit depressing.

As a crime thriller it didn't do it for me. Normally I read a book over a few days. This took me over 2 weeks. I read a chapter at a time and couldn't be bothered to read more. Things hot up in the second half of the book. However, not enough to save this decidedly average crime thriller.

I won't bothere with any of his other books. 5/10.

I don't usually post reviews on Amazon or anywhere else for that matter, but this is such a good book, I had to say so. An intelligent and interesting read. I genuinely couldn't put it down, and I will now go out and buy the author's other books.
