Matt has once again deprived me of sleep for a few days!  Darknet was impossible to put down.  Cleverly written "sci-fi" thriller that marries our current technological climate and algo driven HFT'S, which dominate Wall Street.  Matt explains the financial jargon to those who may not be in the industry or have knowledge of this world.  Think of this as a modern day era's Ocean's 11.  No need to physically break into a vault anymore!  Read the headlines, and you will see that hackers doing exactly this.

Can't wait for the next one!

Each time I opend this book, I had the earge to close my eyes and fall a sleep.  I can't stand when men are portraid as door mats and that's what I thought about Adair MacTaran.  He has NO head on his shoulders.

Whatever.  Never again am I reading anything by Margaret Moore!

I am about 70% done with this book, and I got to tell you I am a little tired, ok, a lot tired of Anton Clay! Seven books and he still is in the picture and it is dragging this series down. I am not sure I will read book eight if he isn't gone after this one.

When I first started Blindsided, it was a little slow going.  I just had too many interruptions and other things going on.  Once I was able to stay focused on the story line, I found it difficult to stop reading.  You want Matt to defeat his tormentors and get on with his life.  I guarantee you won't want to put your Kindle down in the last two hours of reading.  It's that good.

Up until iI read this one I am a huge Matt Shaw fan. Every other of his (a lot) have been good.
 This one however is the most boring book I have ever tried to read.  Mostly after the first chapter I started skipping pages, and pages.....pretty much most of the book.
He should have quit with the first book in the series. It shouldnt even be a series.  Awful, boring, waste of space.  I wouldn't give it one star if I didn't have to.
Up to this one I have liked all his books .  I won't be reading Sickest Bastards,  I cant imagine how it could get any worse. Jeeze Matt, what possessed you to put this out???

Stephen King is back and crawling through the darkest recesses of my mind, keeping me awake at night or waking me in the middle of the night!  Thank you!

It's 3:40 am and although I should be asleep, I just can't seem to put this series down! I started with book 1 and have now read books 2 & 3 and the plot just seems to keep turning and getting better. I KNOW I should go to sleep, but I can already tell that I won't be going to bed because I want to get started on the next one...

RH is a go to author for me. Her books are always a satisfying read. But I had a hard time with this one. Matt just didn't do it for me. I was annoyed with him most of the time. I didn't like how selfish he was in his friendship with Ollie. He's quite self centered. He worries only about what he's feeling. I barely liked him by the end of the book. Ollie didn't do it for me either. I was annoyed by him as well on how he allowed himself to be a doormat to Matt's behavior. He never spoke up. He continued to let Matt walk all over him and only encouraged his behavior by keeping his mouth shut. But when he let all his built up frustrations fly I was like, FINALLY! I felt OK about him in the end.

I really enjoyed the friendships between Ollie, Chance, and Miles. The chemistry between the three of them was easy to feel coming off the pages. I just I could have felt that between Matt and Ollie.

Indifferent. That is how I felt most of the book. So many really loved these two while I was having a hard time liking them individually let alone together. The only one who made any kind of sense was Miles. He was by far the smartest of the bunch. I liked him a lot. I can't wait for his book. We didn't get much of who Chance is, but seeing how him and Miles seemed to be closer I think we will get more a feel of who is in Miles's book.

Happy reading, dolls! xx

I just want to shake Kat! Please, please, please, choose your man already!

This love triangle business is driving me bonkers, but I can't stop reading. It is ridiculous that Kat gets her arse handed to her every other page but hardly ever ends up in the hospital. It is even more ridiculous that she can't decide which brother she wants to make kissy kissy with. The characters drive me crazy, the plot drives me crazy. I want to throw my Kindle against the wall but I CANNOT STOP READING THIS SERIES!!!

I think what Kat needs is a Blane/Kade sandwich to finally get these hot guys out of her system.

Onto the next. I am a lost cause and Snow has hooked me. I'm done for, doomed to neglect my chores in favor of these books as long as she keeps writing them *sigh*

Dull and lifeless compared to his previous offerings. I was very excited to see a new offering by MPJ but after only a couple playthroughs of this snooze fest I'm done. After the epic Land of the Living there is nowhere to go but downhill.

As usual I can't get to sleep by 9:30 for work. I really like reading these books by Mr Thomas. I am going to start the next one now.

In a weird way, what disappointed me about Joe Matt was not his baldly honest and funny objectification of women and "Orientals" (me being both) but the black hole Spent was.

As other reviewers have smartly put it, this book was a let-down because there was no revelation, action or change in Joe Matt. But let's face it; we don't read Joe Matt hoping for him to emerge as some uber-man, we read him to relate, to feel good about our own pathetic moments, and even point our fingers. Peepshow and Poor Bastard were essentially the same story as Spent, but seemed as if "more happened" because they generally spanned over a greater period of time. Even if the character of Joe Matt didn't change from the beginning to the end of the book, we (or I!) did. There was a sense of satisfaction after reading each previous book because there was a narrative arc completed.

And that's the problem with Spent. A bunch of things happen: Joe tapes porn, Joe haggles a book with Seth, Joe gets upset about someone moving his toothbrush, but there's no cohesion. Finishing Spent, I'd neither learned or unlearned anything about Joe. This book could have simply not existed.

Which is too bad, because as laughably despicable a character Joe Matt is, there was such fun in reading him. Joe Matt the author is clearly a smart storyteller and brilliant artist, but surely he could have said more in this book. However, I definitely do not care to meet him in person! His MySpace page, as someone else pointed out, lacks the charming filter his artwork provides. To see him in life makes it all too real--his fetishes are no joke. As much as I chuckled over his episode with his Asian roommate, it's not as funny to see his half-dressed Asian female fans prancing about. They willfully play right into his desires, which is just wrong on too many levels.

I highly recommend Peepshow, Poor Bastard and Fair Weather instead, in that order. Happy reading!
