Review of 'Pirate Cinema' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Really enjoyed this book, though it felt like some jump cuts moved from one bit of story to another. The whole mosquito hat thing was way too convenient when dropped into the story quite a ways in and then hacked just a chapter or two later.

I thought the characters were a little more believable than in Little Brother, and had no idea how it was going to come out at the end. Plan to read more of Cory Doctorow's books soon.
