Wabi Sabi — Sosuke Takahashi
It’s such a shame that a book that is telling us about the things that this book is telling us about could have been translated so poorly.
Or was Sosuke deliberately trying to make this book full of imperfection in some weird sense of ironic humour that i just don’t understand? Maybe even that’s lost in the translation.
Seriously, if you are going to write books in a language, be sure to have a complete grasp of that language before doing so, if not, then write in your own language and get someone who has a complete grasp and understanding of the language you want the book in to translate it for you.
The content has a lot of good stuff for the reader to consider, but it’s presentation through the woeful English writing just ruins everything this book talks about and makes one think that this writer does no practice what he preaches.

Messiah Online — Seth Rain
And so we continue where we left of with Spectrum Worlds, the pacing doesn’t slow down at all and The Postman still has no idea who to trust and, even as a reader with my god like view of things, i still have no idea who is being honest and what their real agendas are in these books: which is what makes them so good. Eventually things will come out in the wash and we’ll find out who is really pulling whose strings.
If you enjoyed the first book, you’ll enjoy this just as much.
But, between this and the last book in the series, there’s the penultimate book, Android State, which begins with all humans being told that they’ve got about 3 weeks to all get out of the United Kingdom or they’ll be killed on sight: should be fun.
