I worry my writing is like this...

The Learners: A Novel by Chip Kidd

rating: 2 of 5 stars
Uh.. it was only okay. Not as good as The Cheese Monkeys by any stretch of the imagination. It gets very emotionally neurotic towards the end where it just kind of stops. The Cheese Monkeys had a nice narrative arc with a satisfying conclusion. This just seems half-formed.

I've always been far more interested in the design aspects of the stories, and you get some of that here. But not nearly enough to satisfy me. The book is much more focused on the Milgram experiments at Yale than on design, and it suffers because of that. Am I the only one who thinks writing your character into the Milgram experiment is trite?

I've got the use of both of my arms, and i still want one of these when they become available. Can you say Doctor Octopus?
