two book recommendatiosn and a question

I've read two really good books recently. The first is GRRMartin's "Tuf
Voyaging". I first read this 25 years ago and it was my first introduction
to Martin's writing. It's about a guy who stumbles on a 30KM-long derelict
ship filled with cloning facilities and millions of plant and animal cell
samples. I don't know if it's as vicious as I've heard his "Game of Thrones"
is reputed to be, but there are certainly some, um, less than stellar examples
of humanity.

The second is Tidbeck's "Jagannath". This is a short collection of short
stories. They're fantasy-in-the-modern-world fantasy, though I wouldn't tack
the "urban" label on them. Elizabeth Hand wrote an introduction and said the
stories were strange. I don't know why she called them strange, they seem
like high-quality fantasy to me.

The question is about Matthew Mather's "CyberStorm". If anyone has read it,
can you tell me if it's worth finishing? I'm 30% in and it's pretty dull,
uncompelling, and I don't really care at all about any of the characters.
The one thing that makes me think about continuing is that an Amazon review
mentioned that some vegetarians turned into *redacted*.

But life's too short to finish sucky books.
