I'm so thankful to the reviewer above because I got a much better understanding of the book from her few paragraphs than from my attempt to read Incarceron.
I'm not a big fan of stream punk, so that put me off immediately. The characters were all right and the writing was fair, but I found the storytelling so disjointed that just about the time I was beginning to get a clue on which head I was in, which cast we were dealing with and why I should give a damn, Fisher flipped the script and I had to orient myself all over again.
I gave the book about 5 weeks to engage me. Nothing happened. I read about 15 books in between the first time I picked it up and 100 pages later when I threw in the towel and happily mailed it off.
