[Audio Version] I'm sure a re-read would be enlightening, but I didn't like the story well enough to do that. I did, however, really like Grimwood's style and look forward to reading more of his work.

[Audio Version] The dystopic "Big Brother" setting is intriguing, the plot is exciting and tense, there are numerous ethical issues to consider, and Shadrach is a likeable protagonist.

[Audio Version] There aren't any likeable characters here, and it's hard for me to relate to androids, but Tower of Glass made me think.

[Audio Version] There was nothing remarkable about the prose and I thought the humor was often juvenile and most likely to be enjoyed by teens (though The Warlock in Spite of Himself, because of the sexual content, is not marketed to teens).

[Audio Version] Some of the story is cute, but it's never very clever, and nearly every part of the plot has a parallel to HARRY POTTER, even down to the soul-sucking Dementors

In the end, the plot didn't hold together, but I still enjoyed the setting and many of the ideas in The World Inside, so I didn't feel like it was a waste of my time.
