tech-retreaded exposition

Just, excitedly, picked up Little Brother.  Just put it down again, too, on abt p. 27.  Heavily laden w/ exposition about technology and (some where in page-teens) has a total misread of the importance of arphids in libraries.  I forgive the library / arphid thing.  But, as a reader interested in the constant and visceral experience of my protagonist, can’t so much forgive that we only get a physical description of D on page twenty-whatsit.

Must try some of his other books sometime, I guess.

Or maybe plod along doggedly in this one for the hope of pay-off.

I want to like the text more than I actually do.

Posted in info-sci, reading.
