Cadigan Lite?, Jan 16 2003
By Matthew Decker Maurer "mightyhat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Web: Avatars (Paperback)
OK, you just finished reading 'The Power and the Passion' and said to yourself; "Holy Cow! I have to read EVERYTHING I can find from Pat Cadigan!"
Hold on a minute; this may not be the book you are looking for. This is part of a series of cyberpunk stories for kids. It is fun and fast paced: I finished it in one 40 minute sitting. The heroes are pre-teens. It is light and entertaining. Not quite how you would describe most of Cadigan's stories, huh?
I don't want to scare you off here. I am glad I bought it, and I will definitely read it again, but I am a big fan of young adult fiction: Heinlein, C.S. Lewis, Madeline L'Engle, and even J.K. Rowling.
Reading Cadigan's novels normally involves a fair amount of thought and introspection. Her stories force you perceive things in new ways. This book has been toned down to a level that young readers will be able to understand.

Great Series, Jan 25 2004

This book is another great addition the "The Web" series. If you like it and want to read more stories based in this world, try "The Web 2027" and "The Web 2028". Both are great. It's great if you like books about how cool the near future may be. I'll tell you after reading this (and other books from the series) I can't wait until 2027!
