I read this in two days and felt it was a good book.  I could visualize the depressing world the Earth had become, lack of resources and greed had taken over.  The book progressed well and my only complaint was that it seemed to drag, just a bit, in the middle.  But, I wanted to know what was going to happen so I trudged through.  It kept me interested and reading with a kick butt detective and her search for why the world had gone to hell in a hand basket.This book is set in the future where no one dies of old age anymore.  Everyone looks about 25 and only die from accidents and viruses that are still around.  The problem is the overpopulation this has caused.  People fill the street starving and homeless.  The rich and wealthy have everything they need and the rest of society is trying to catch a bone, the middle class is virtually nonexistent.The author paints a dark world that I would not want to live in or raise children in.  Hunger, poverty and homelessness abound in her world.  She let us see what a shame immortality could be if everyone had it.  A dead body, found on the street, was fair game to anyone who came across it, hungry children and desperate adults rule this world.  The future was bleak and that led this detective to her next job, the one that could be her last.This book is imaginative and quick to read.  If you enjoy urban futuristic stories you will enjoy this.  The author even mixed in a tiny bit of romance that always makes life worth living and books worth reading.  I hope the future is better than this.
