Mandibles is a good book but a shit novel. No real story, poorly drawn characters. But it is a visceral presentstion which really sparks a reaction.

I'm about half way through now and I agree with your assessment. So many bitcoiners love The Mandibles. If so, they will think this is Anna Karenina. The writing and storytelling is much better.

Yes, I was following this project and read the book when it was released.

Overall, I think it's a good example of bitcoin fiction, and could introduce thriller readers to the concept.

The structure and pace of the book was excellent and the idea was sound.

I felt the plot had quite a few unlikely moments and unexplained elements which pushed the bounds of my belief.

I think with a pro fiction editor and traditional publishing production (better title, better cover), this book could have been excellent. I don't mean that as a dig at the author. As I said, I think it is one of the best bitcoin fiction books out there.
