Goliath by Scott Westerfeld
5.0
It's early.
Actually it's 9am. So yes it's early.
Why am I here?
Oh yeah I finished Goliath last night. The last two chapters were a bit hazy, but the Afterword totally shocked me into wakefulness. In the world of emoticons I was "O dash O", as in, O_O followed by a lot of exclamation marks.
Ok I was that shocked. I am, however, rather dazed by something that just happened. So bear with me.
So. Goliath, huh.
Let's just say the action/character development ratio could've tilted a bit...to the right.
At least we get to meet Mad Tesla (who defeated the bears with a electric walking stick)! And the Russian bears (that ate an entire ecosystem)! And see Bovril learn (words like bum-rags)! And, and and....go to Japan! This is plenty awesome.
