The Ware Tetraology

I've gotten to perhaps 2/3 (towards the end of the 3rd book) of The Ware Tetralogy by Rudy Rucker, but I have to stop. In the beginning it was great. Now it's just terrible. It's boring, it's slow, and the slang! If you're an author and think that inventing slang for your characters to use is a good idea. Don't!

If this had just been the two first books, I might have lusted after the next Rudy Rucker book. Now, I'm done with him. This has left a bad taste in my mouth, I'm sorry to say...
