Summary of this Book...
Takeshi Kovacs, a futuristic soldier, is hired by a wealthy man (Laurens Bancroft) to find out who killed him. The police ruled his death a suicide. In this society, people can be 'sleeved' in different bodies even if they died, so long as an implant at the base of their skull is intact. The book is about Kovac's attempts to find out if Bancroft did commit suicide or was murdered.
I especially liked...
Kovac's conflicts of interest, and how he resolves them
I didn't like...
The gratuitous and explicit sex scene
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read the next one - or buy a copy! It's not even in bookstores where I live, the local university ordered a UK print of it.
This Book made me feel...
Happy - I enjoyed reading it! And also tired - I stayed up too late finishing it *Smile*
The author of this Book...
has a brillant descriptive mind
I recommend this Book because...
It's a mystery - you're kept guessing the whole time
I don't recommend this Book because...
It's very explicit in parts, violence and sex.
Further Comments...
This book is for mature audiences that love a good mystery, or a good science fiction book. Altered Carbon is the perfect blend of those two genres.
