Due to an accident in the Washington Metro, the Matt from this Universe got switched with me, his evil twin from an alternate Universe. I'm here to give you some quotes from reviewers about RADIO FREEFALL, which in the alternate Universe is a very bad book.
"The writing ... bleak..." Neal Asher
"I didn't like the book." Don D'Amassa
"Not really a big deal ... I thought the characters themselves were a bit flat." JP Frantz
"[T]his ... story ... is intentionally referential, as well as a bit ... bad." Ernest Lilly
"[O]ccasionally ... annoying ... and amorally evil." D. Douglas Fratz
"Man, this ... crappy new book ... went on for a while." Jake Beal
This post was inspired by a conversation last night with David Louis Edelman, who may be casting himself as Larry Mondello to my Beaver Cleaver.
We hope the Matt from this universe makes it home to Quincy.

Get rid of the bad Matt! Switch him back somehow!

So wait, if that's the mirror you, shouldn't you have a black goatee, or be shirtless or something? Or do you just speak in opposites. "This book Radio Freefall am not the worst book never!"
Well, since the me from this universe has a goatee, the one from the other universe doesn't. Similar concept to the South Park episode where the alternate selves came to this universe and Cartman's opposite was a nice guy.
I'm happy to report that the reverse trip through the Metro restored the Matts to their appropriate universes. RADIO FREEFALL am best book you not buy this year!
Just read the book (from the local library). Being an Aqualung-aged reader the references were easy. Reminded me most of Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" (must have been the memes). Looking forward to the next book...
I'm glad you liked it. You must have picked it up in this Universe where it's a good book.
