This book was great fun to read! The inevitable comparisons to both Dick and Chandler are quite apt but, fortunately for me, it had none of the long-winded exposition that so encumbers Dick's work. Dark and serious, but with a street-hardened and smart sense of humor throughout, it's everything enjoyable about genre fiction-- without the guilt. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/288368?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
