The story is good. It's compelling and suspenseful and fun. Sure it may have some small holes, but nothing you'll fall through and hurt yourself. But the world is magnificent. Especially to anyone who ever played video games, watched TV and movies or listened to music in and around the 1980s. This book is glorious.
This science fiction book, which is not really a science fiction book, tells a story, which is not really a story that is part tone poem, part pulp novel, part experimental romance, and parts of many other things. In fact it's not really a book is it? Just pieces of one. And yet, I love it right in the face.
Well it was just as good or better the second time. And made me want to go on a road trip.
Well I feel a fool for holding out on this one for so long. An intricate plot woven deftly and very much told in art as well as text. I was very impressed at the way meaning was layered and mirrored from the superheroes to the newsagent's corner to the comic book pirate story.
