Maggody and the Moonbeams by Joan Hess
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Everyone seems to be jumping on the blog bandwagon so I thought I'd give it a go as well. Haven't really got a clue what I'm going to talk about, but that's never really stopped me from saying something, so . . .

The Mysterious Affair at Olivetti: IBM, the CIA, and the Cold War Conspiracy to Shut Down Production of the World's First Desktop Computer by Meryle Secrest
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Disclaimer: I received a copy of the book from the publisher for review.
This book was basically a hodgepodge history of the Olivetti family: what they manufactured, where they had offices, who lived where and with whom, who they liked, what their politics were, and so forth. As a dynastic history, it was barely adequate. As a book about the history of desktop computers, it was a failure. If there was a conspiracy, I must have skipped over it because I don't remember reading about one.

On My Way to Paradise by Dave Wolverton
So completely uninteresting I couldn't be bothered to finish it. Read just enough to know it wasn't my cup of tea and that it most likely wouldn't get any better further on.

Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Gave up. I wasted too much time hoping an actual story would emerge from this swill.

Pure Instinct by Robert W. Walker
Gave up trying to read this. Very badly edited. Got tired of turning gibberish into English.

Walkaway by Cory Doctorow
Utter drudgery. Threw it aside. Got tired of being hit about the head and shoulders with dicks, pricks, and politics.
