I first saw this through the library's "Wowbrary" feature (which allows you to see the new items the library is acquiring). It looked and sounded interesting, so I put it on hold. Yesterday, after work I picked it up and since I was in the mood for something lighter after reading Prince of Thorns this seemed the perfect fit. I certainly got what I was looking for. The story was in turns amusing and interesting. Enough that I stayed up much longer than I should have to finish it. But above all, it was light. At several points I found myself thinking, "Mmhm. Yeah. Right." But ignore reality and you're left with fun. Anyway, other points of note include: Each chapter is headed by a bumper sticker quote (this is relative to Digit's great fascination for bumper stickers). Also, at points Digit will break out actual equations for the book. Because I totally plan to start calculating things like "7n1 + 3n2 + 9n3 + 7n4 + 3n5 + 9n6 + 7n7 + 3n8 + 9n9" in the middle of reading a book.
Anyway, suspend reality and you have a (I can't believe I'm going to say this) great "beach" read.
