Troublemaker - Sergei Lukyanenko
Pure, unadulterated pulp fiction, the rapture of his fans baffles me. The jokes are funny for those in the know about the author's political views, and events in the world and on the internet. For me, they're funny. What I don't like are those very views of the author, who is an imperialist, a jingoist, a copyright fanatic, and suffers from Orthodoxy of the brain.
