Afterparty by Daryl Gregory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A strong recommendation from a friend led me to pick this up, and I'm quite glad I did. An interesting take on the near future, where designer drugs are all the rage, custom tailored to give user's a variety of experiences, Afterparty explores a lot of interesting ground.
At times, Gregory's writing reminded me pretty strongly of Scalzi, but that's not a bad thing. Interesting, memorable, and diverse characters, a strong plot that shifts and evolves as information is revealed, and a nuanced appreciation for complex issues made this a particularly enjoyable read.
