This was quite an interesting cyberpunk story, but was spoilt by something that irritated me intensely once I noticed it. For some reason, the author italicises lots and lots of words, not just for emphasis but names of companies, tv shows, books and newspapers, and foreign words too (including French, Italian and Japanese). But he's inconsistent; not all company names are italicised (for some reason WeGuard is but CySat isn't) and not all foreign words, while some perfectly ordinary English words which happen to be of foreign origin, such as 'via', are italicised too. There is another book by this author on my TBR shelf, and I have just flicked through it. He still seems to be fond of italics, but he doesn't go quite so over the top with them in '9Tail Fox'. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Cependant, une poignée de défauts émaillent ce roman : des thèmes et une intrigue trop disparates, un scénario assez léger, et un univers / une atmosphère qui ont du mal à prendre. Grimwood est sans doute meilleur journaliste que conteur.
Le Dragon de Lucifer reste nettement en dessous des ténors du genre, mais les amateurs l’apprécieront s’ils savent passer outre la froideur du style. ( )
