The SHERWOOD GAME

Summary: the dark side
Review: I have read "The wishing season" by the same author and loved it.
Sadly, this book, though is has a great premis, is not as good at all.
The main Characters were either not likeable. Some were like people you would cross to the other side of the street to avoid, others were plain annoying. Often the language was offensive. What is interesting about characters that are constantly mean and rude to each other? The crude sexual references were supposed to be funny but seemed out of place in a book like this. It was entirely unnecessary for there to be the topic of pedophillia in a book aimed by it's very premis at young adults. As an adult, I was really turned off by the thought of what adults might want with anatomically correct android children who are self aware. This could have been a light hearted fantasy, but it turned out to be depressing

Summary: VI reality adventure
Review: i loved this book and the whole idea of full body VI RPG adventure and coporate shennaigans. especially as a programmer. the plot turned and twisted all the time, so i was never bored. friesner is always coming up with yet another weird and amusing tale that kicks off my imagination into new realm. good job. sequel? wheres the sequel?

Summary: For Shame - For Shame
Review: This work is a BIG disappointment for Friesner afficionados. Her wild and wacky sense of plot is nowhere in evidence in this hackneyed tale of a Virtual Reality AI gaining full sentience and escaping the confines of the game. Whoop-de-doo, the whole schtick has been done before, and better.
