Recursion

This was almost a five star book. Almost. But alas... for me, it really suffered in the middle with that oldest and most common of writing afflictions, characters choosing actions that are obviously to forward the plot, when any person with common sense would not make that same move. I almost gave up there in that second act, having pulled a muscle from how hard my eyes rolled in my head. But I'm glad I hung in there, because it ended very strong.
