Book Reviews of Daemon
Book Review: I can't wait to read his next book
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't play games. It gives me motion sickness. And I am totally usuless with technology. I am scared of computer virus, and I talk to my pc when it freezes hoping it may change its' mind. I hate violence, splatter, horror, and I don't know why I was so attracted to this book. But I read it as soon as it came out and I absolutely loved the book. Suarez is a genius author, and I feel lucky to encounter his first novel. I can't wait to read his next one.Book Review: Thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the most exciting story I've read in a long time. I could not turn the pages fast enough. I certainly don't know if any of this could actually happen, but the excitement and thrills Suarez gives us are simply full of technology and suspense. A fantastic book, and I'll be looking for his next. I also found a new legal thriller author in The FraudBook Review: Excellent, excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a somewhat realistic version of how SkyNet could come about, this is the book you want to read. It only loosely plays with the rules of modern technology (unlike certain TV shows where you can make a drinking game out of how tech terms are thrown about inappropriately... oh look, Chloe opened her mouth, DRINK!).
I found it to be compelling, well written, and I can honestly say I'm looking forward to the sequel
Book Review: It could really happen
Summary: 5 Stars
The scariest scenarios are things that could really happen. I'm not a gamer, nor a particularly technical person, but I was so riveted by the "what if?" aspect of this book that my boyfriend had to compete for my attention during our tropical vacation. And he's hot.
My only regret about owning this book is having to loan it out; I am sure I will never see it again as it makes the rounds of my geek friends.
Book Review: Techno-thriller or techno-chiller?
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this last year when Suarez was publishing it himself. I was totally blown away by the plausible plot and tight suspense. Where Clancey writes what he's researched, Suarez writes what he knows and lives. If a digital doomsday is looming, it could very well happen just this way. Gamers, programmers and anyone else who likes a taut read that centers on our electronic world will enjoy this book.
