Unfortunately, the story was not interesting and continued on in the same vein throughout. I really wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't bring myself to that level. ( ) Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I remember reading such classics as The Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby, where you actually can feel the life and world around a character changing, the character changing with it. This is one of those books. In 50 years, or so, when my children's children are reading about the internet age, and how we came to be such a society, they will read this and understand. Trust me, I claim this book as my new favourite novel, of all time, and one I dare people to read, and not feel a quintessential novel of the ages coming off the page. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I got a copy of this book through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program. Somehow, its algorithm looked into my past and realized that I was once a modemer and that parts of this novel might click with me. However, while Stutz can bring back the era and write some compelling characters, he often gets lost in a lyrical narrative style that does not do his novel any favors. Still, if you can get past a sprinkling of purple prose, this book is worth checking out if you have some memories of life before the World Wide Web.

[full review here: http://spacebeer.blogspot.com/2013/05/circuits-of-wind-legend-of-net-age.html ] Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I won my copy thru Library Thing Early Reviewers. It took me awhile to read this and I had a hard time trying to stay focused. This book was not my cup of tea and had way too many acronyms in it. Maybe to somebody who was active in computers from way back might like this.flag Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. As much history as it is fiction--this is a coming of age of a young man as he grows up along side the internet.The book was good but not great. I wanted to see the author's treatment of the subject and that's what kept me going. Had the subject matter been something other than a parallel of my own youth I may have given up on it. This was mostly due to the relative lack of dialog of the characters. I just wanted more of the characters speaking with one another rather than the author writing about what they did. However, the author had many turns of phrase that rewarded the reader, and this too kept my going. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
