   I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s not the easiest read in the world, but it’s such a beautifully-built world and its characters are wonderfully diverse. I hope it wins its consolation bracket – if An Artificial Night hadn’t been in it, I’d have voted for 100K all the way through.

   I gave it a mixed review here, because it was extremely difficult to read but was interesting. the further i’ve gotten from it the more mixed has turned to dislike. haven’t bothered with the sequel(s), don’t plan to. as seth green in Can’t Hardly Wait would put it: “I got no time!”

   Can’t Hardly Wait is a top 50 film ever. Nobody drink the beer! The beer has gone bad!
