Creeping Jenny by Jeff Noon
2.0
1.5 stars
The last book was good enough that I considered bumping the series up to 3 stars, but this one changed my mind. Nyquist is just too emotional for me. He's out and about trying to find information and immediately gets upset when strangers aren't forthcoming so he starts slamming his hands on tables and shouting at them. Definitely not the best way to get people to open up. He acts more like a toddler than an adult man and it gets old and boring after a while.
Other than that, the writing was alright but the plot rested too much on Nyquist's shoulders and I didn't care.
