Zero History for this story

Zero History by William Gibson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this third of the Blue Ant trilogy, many interesting ideas are touched upon, but nothing in this story goes very deep. The interesting ideas that are introduced and flirted with are never developed with enough detail to captivate me as a reader. The characters for the most part were shallow and uninteresting. Milgrim, who was one of the most dysfunctional of the cast of characters, was most interesting to me. Many of his thoughts, comments, and actions added some of the only depth i felt. Mr Gibson remains one of my favorite authors, but this story, and the Blue Ant trilogy in general, just did not reach me, therefore i don't recommend them. This is a significant departure from the previous two trilogies by the author, The Sprawl Trilogy, and The Bridge Trilogy, both of which were exciting and captivating to read. I really enjoyed those, but not so much for The Blue Ant series.

an interesting, fast moving story of both large and small people each playing a significant role in an elaborate plot. An exciting and enjoyable read.

outrageous

The Napoleon of Notting Hill with Original Illustrations from the First Edition by G.K. Chesterton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Napoleon of Notting Hill is another outrageous, well articulated yet dated book from GKC. I'm guessing it had some relevance in the early 20th century when it was published, but i'm not sure what to take away from it 100 years later except that it's a fun story to read.
