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 read the NetGalley ARC of Upgrade, and enjoyed it. Some irrelevant stuff could’ve been cut, and there’s a stupid omission of current tech in this near-future story, but overall I enjoyed it.

    The mistakes noted above, and a look at Dark Matter’s sample told me to take my win and be satisfied. He is inconsistent. That might have to do with a less than optimal editor or editing process, but regardless, I’m not inclined to read more of his work.
