2XS - by Nigel Findley. While there have only been a couple Shadowrun novels I didn't particularly like, I can't decide if this one fits into that category or not. On one level, I really did end up caring about the main characters, and that along with the wealth of description provides a nice depth to the writing. Sometimes, however, the amount of detail just becomes tedious, and while I usually enjoy the darker endings and characters this author creates, they are kind of mood-dependant as to whether they end up depressing the reader, I think.
