This took longer to read than Little Brother, and contained a decent sequel. Wrapped around that were some extraneous bits that didn't fit the core but do mirror the authors online direction. This was unwelcome for me, but understandable.

Picked up the audio version from HumbleBundle, and Wil Wheaton did a great job with the emotions and characters. I rated the first book as 4 star, and the story here is not as good - but I loved the presentation.
