Fun, and very readable. But the joke did wear a bit thin on occasion. I can't help feeling that this would have worked better as a short story.

Very good book. BUT...and I do mean but this book is not for everyone. I love Cory Doctorow's work but Charlie Stross is a strange writer. Rule 34 was a crazy book and hard to follow. I would say that this can be a book that is hard to follow but it is so weird and funny and crazy.
Great job and enjoyable!
