How do y’all feel about his books? I’ve never read an author that was so inconsistent. I started with Dark Matter which I thought was an exciting plot but not very well written. Then I read Run which I loved and finished in one sitting because I was so into the story. Then I read Abandon and gave up halfway through because the writing was so bad I was cringing. I don’t know what to make of him.
I found Upgrade disappointing after Dark Matter and Recursion.
As you say, much more typical action movie feel. I also felt it failed to sell me on the MC or any of the other enhanced humans being geniuses. Other than listing the scientific names for things unnecessarily, they all acted pretty dumb.
