Daniel Andrlik reviewed Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
Review of 'Little Brother' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
I get that this book is being treated well because it is so topical, and I love the kinds of thinking it's presenting.
That being said, the book fails to build any tension and reads like Cory Doctorow is lecturing you the whole time. If you're somewhat tech savvy, that means he's lecturing you on stuff you already know. However, this book is meant for adolescents, and I guess that makes sense. Hopefully it will move kids to be more interested in privacy and liberty, which in this day in age means understanding how technology works and making it work for you.
One layout thing: it is cool that he dedicates each chapter to a different bookstore, but his dedications are at length, so it takes you completely out of the story.
