First time I read any of his books. Fast paced book that held my interest. The ending was very unexpected. I will consider reading other of his novels.

Paranoia had all the elemets to be a classic suspense novel--interesting characters, a believable plot, even a believable love interest. Just when it was getting real interesting with a seemingly inescapable end game, our hero was had. It was as if the writer ran out of energy. Surely a plot line could have continued with a more death or law defying ending, a bigger more complicated double cross on Wyatt. Instead it ended with a HUH?. With a better ending Adam could have been a continued Hero left to fight and get into more scrapes again elsewhere. The world needs more Robin Hoods.

I "read" the audio version of this book and, until the last chapter, would have given it a 5-star rating. Adam is an interesting narrator with a great voice, flawed and yet touchingly hopeful, and in one hell of a fix. The story's short chapters (of which there are almost a hundred) and multiple twists and cliff-hangers make from great suspense and, frankly, I enjoyed reading a thriller that doesn't depend on killers or kidnappers to bring the suspense! But then I got to the end of the book and found myself immensely frustrated, especially after so many hours listening to get there. It just... stops. I felt certain that the audio version had left out a page, a paragraph, even a LINE to clarify the end, but double-checked the print copy and, yeah, that's how it ends. I'd been hoping I'd found a writer I could really enjoy, but to me a good read is like an investment, and this one didn't pay off. So much for Finder. Those of you with a higher tolerance for the indeterminate, however, may very much enjoy Paranoia.

I read this while on vacation, and sent a review on my Kindle - I thought. Didn't appear here! Anyway, I loved the book - it was an easy read and kept me interested. Others here thought it was poorly written. Not so! It was written through the eyes of a 27 yr old slacker, and it wouldn't have been as interesting had he been portrayed in Shakespearean verse. Tech-iness, business, and brand name-ism made it a lot of fun and I hope to see a movie called PARANOIA soon!

This story goes from one implausible event to another, leading the remarkably unsympathetic protagonist in a juvenile and predictable rags-to-riches/zero-to-hero story. Along the way the reader is brought in to a world of supposedly high-tech corporate culture about which the author apparently has even more ignorance than he has contempt. The characters are shallow, the plot is unengaging, and the first-person narrative makes reading it like living inside the head of a very dull person.
If drivel like this can get published and so well reviewed, it should give confidence to every aspiring writer out there, no matter how bad.
