Greg Leitich Smith, author of Nin­jas, Pira­nhas, and Galileo and Tofu and T.Rex (Lit­tle Brown) and co-author of Santa Knows (Dut­ton), has posted a (I think) ter­rif review of Black Hole Sun on his blog at http://greglsblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/black-hole-sun.html

Here’s an excerpt:

Plot is well-wrought, fast-paced, with an intrigu­ing back-story; Durango, his AI implant Mimi, and Vienne (Durango’s num­ber two) are intense, sar­cas­tic, and some­times bru­tal in a soci­ety whose law has dete­ri­o­rated into “kill or be killed.” In sum, in BLACK HOLE SUN, Gill offers an excit­ing, action-packed read on a Mars that is red in tooth and claw.
