Interesting review, drawing a connection between Upload and Lord of the Flies, a book I loved, and was almost certainly influenced by:

Great Review From Author R.S. Carter
“WOW. I LOVED this book… Upload would be a premium selection for any scifi book club.”
This made my day. Science-fiction book club readers, take note. 🙂
“I’ve read a number of reviews from people who loved the story and the science-fiction, but hated the protagonist. I LOVED Raymond! Sure, he had his character flaws (and some are very dark), but that what makes him such a perfect character for this story.”
And this made my week! I really put a lot into writing Raymond, and I knew I was risking disappointment among readers who want a main character who’s likeable and easy to root for. Reading Carter’s review, I got quite a rush: Raymond finally has a reviewer who loved him as a character, and who’s willing to champion him. What a joy.
