Steve (You think you're being so smart)

The first thing that hits you about "Halting State" is that it is writing in second person present. This means that you are the character. And just like this review, you're the narrator. You think this might be fun, a form you've never experienced before, except in math problems where you have two apples and someone gives you two more... But your interest in the form fades as you discover that the narration alternates between three character and what passes as prose leaves you confused and angry through most of the book.

Come visit my blog for the rest of the review...
