Here are some high points of the review:
"This is a novel that’s impossible to pigeonhole into a genre. The
presence of a technology that permits recording and playback of dreams is
science fiction, but it’s also a legal/crime thriller. The author, who has an
extensive legal background, weaves it seamlessly into the story from start to
finish. This is also something of a dystopian novel, in its description of the
various uses and, most importantly, the misuses of technology, by those seeking
to make money, by government, and by criminal elements – and the disastrous
impact all this can have on individuals within society.
"Playback Effect has an astonishingly diverse cast of
characters, and while Wynne is the main protagonist, the others play roles that
are no less important. The author uses third person point of view, and moves
from one character to another to keep the suspense level high and the tension
as tight as a steel cable on a suspension bridge.
"Dialogue,
descriptions, and narrative are flawless – not a wasted word anywhere. This is
a book that will linger in your thoughts long after you’ve stopped reading –
and are likely to invade your dreams. I give it a resounding five stars."
And here's the pretty badge.
