Lexicon: A Novel by Max Barry

I saw this book at Books Inc on Market in the Castro. It was on their featured Sci-Fi shelf and it just looked interesting. Boy what a roller-coaster of a ride it is too! Later that month, I was at the San Francisco Airport Termail 3. The Books Inc. Store there, Compass Books, is under renovation and they have just a small assortiment in the large mall space. But they had Lexicon. A woman asked me what book I'd recommend. I told her, if you can handle the premise that certain sounds or words can control a person, you'll love it. She said she could. Saw her a little later. and she couldn't put it down. I've read it twice now and it was good the second time. Well I knew what was going on so I wasn't as lost and I could see more of how the thing was put together. If you liked The Rook, you'll also like this. If you like this, try The Rook.
