Pretty boring and unevenly paced, I expected more from Stross. It was good enough to finish, but not good enough to actually recommend. There’s some interesting concepts in the book, they’re just not really explored effectively.

Crap. I hope Stross isn’t losing his touch. He’s one of the guys I always loved. Someday, I hope to be as good a writer as he is.
I read quite a lot and almost only scifi so I may give some of his newer work a shot. I looked this one up and it seems this is an older story of his and may be the reason why it comes across as so drab. Either way, I’ll add him to my list to check out. I have about 30 or 40 books ahead of him right now though.
I feel your booklist pain!
