Rainbows End

I did not like this book. I found it overly wrought. All of the characters have serious issues. Most significantly, the main character, Robert Gu, is simply annoying. Granted, he's recovered from Alzheimer's because of a futuristic cure. But he is so extremely bitter about his past, his divorce, his children, society, and life, that you can't really like him. The only aspect of him I did like was his luddite-ness. I could relate to his disdain of technology. However, it was really just another brick in his wall of abrasiveness. There were times when I could almost relate to him, but then the scene would quickly change and would return to just being annoyed with him.
