But I have been trying to learn not to let that influence me. Once I read the synopsis, the cover was no longer my concern. This book sounds awesome. Very intriguing. I think I will check this series out.

I remember that it has a man with no arms and legs using technology to give himself virtual limbs . . . but that's nothing next to Robert J. Sawyer's giving Caitlin a virtual <i>eye</i>. It's just something so <i>new</i>, you know?Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748092811661673218.post-29649800748200892962011-09-29T21:32:55.819-04:002011-09-29T21:32:55.819-04:00I don't think I've ever read a book quite ...I don't think I've ever read a book quite like this one, and your review has me intrigued. I'm not really a fan of science fiction, but it sounds like it's more than what I usually see in the SF genre, so I'm willing to give it a shot.
