Reading Orbital now and also from the Booker list just finished Creation Lake by Rachel Kusher (interesting first person take on female undercover 'agent provocateur' contracted to stir up trouble within French protest group)
I will read more stuff from Rachel Kushner, I think, but I slightly struggled with a book written from the first person perspective of a character I really disliked. I don’t think she was meant to be likeable but I still found her grating.

Yes I agree. At first I thought it was a clever and original device to tell the story via intercepted emails etc but it sometimes felt like her actions were just to try and shock the reader and display toughness etc. Did you feel (Possible Spoiler) though that we are meant to think that she became a little under Bruno’s spell by the end. I wasn’t sure if the cynicism had declined by then?
