This book had some interesting concepts but overall it fell flat for me. One of the major problems that I had with the book was the writing style. While the prose was easy to follow and the voice was overall fairly sardonic, unfortunately the author was trying to write in multiple voices, and they all read the same way. In fact, it took my about half of the second chapter before I realized we had completely switched to a new character, that's how similar the voices were. It would be okay if it was a third person narrator, but each character narrates their chapters in the first person and because of this failure to give each character their own distinct voice, no character really stood out to me and I never really cared about the characters. There were some interesting concepts in this book, especially the body modifications and the sentient AIs. But overall, the plot never quite came together for me. Even though characters jumped from place to place a lot, there never seemed to be much urgency to their actions, and I never felt particularly scared or moved by their predicaments. The ending was very abrupt and slightly unresolved. Overall, this book had some good concepts, but they never quite came together to be a really compelling story and the narrative style hindered the story because all of the characters blended together. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Anders Jensen is having a bad month. His roommate is a data thief, his girlfriend picks fights in bars, and his best friend is a cyborg...and a lousy tipper. When everything is spiraling out of control, though, maybe those are exactly the kind of friends you need. In a world divided between the genetically engineered elite and the unmodified masses, Anders is an anomaly: engineered, but still broke and living next to a crack house. All he wants is to land a tenure-track faculty position, and maybe meet someone who's not technically a criminal-but when a nightmare plague rips through Hagerstown, Anders finds himself dodging kinetic energy weapons and government assassins as Baltimore slips into chaos. His friends aren't as helpless as they seem, though, and his girlfriend's street-magician brother-in-law might be a pretentious hipster - or might hold the secret to saving them all. Frenetic and audacious, Three Days in April is a speculative thriller that raises an important question: once humanity goes down the rabbit hole, can we ever find our way back?

Three Days in April does not have the polished style of Ashton’s recent work, but it demonstrates his promise as a world-builder. ( )
