My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

Step Forward pleaseMr Richard Morgan.
you very kindly wrote 3 of the best sci-fi books I have ever had the pleasure to pick up, Takeshi Kovacs fucking rocks! You re-invigorated my love of reading, got me into Alastair Reynolds, im happy again so could not wait to read The Black Man.
You utter cunt, what a total giant steaming pile of shit piss and discarded abortions that book is, awful, staggeringly its even worse than Market Forces, its almost as bollock clenchingly bad as a Dan Brown Book. How the fuck did you manage to write something so bad?
I could have done better frankly.
Very Disappointed indeed.
Thank god I only borrowed it.

Me tooI am currently reading 'The Black Man' and it is absolutely rubbish and I thought Altered Carbon was on a par with Snow Crash and Neuromancer as well.
Sighs.
Neal Asher's stuff is pretty good though.

Looks like you've just saved me £9.99I thought Market Forces was disappointing. My suspension of disbelief failed at the point where they award contracts to the person who turns up first. What?
Since you mentioned Snow Crash, that was good, The Diamond Age was classically excellent, and Cryptonomicon was... meh. I recall getting to the end and literally saying to myself out loud "So what?".
