Not like anything or anyone else

Grimson likes to create a milieu in which there are multiple allusions and injokes; if you don't get them I suppose that after a while you know something's flying past you but you don't know what it is. But if you get the jokes you're presented with a very dense, actionpacked text. He obviously grew up watching bad movies and yet -- his secret weapon -- the pain actually hurts. He makes the incredible credible. Philip K. Dick, Nightmare on Elm Street, James Ellroy, Mary Gaitskill, Irvine Welsh and such off-the-wall influences as Georges Bataille all seem combined in a blender that serves up something entirely unique. Wicked smart.

Its a super-sexy uber-cool non-stop action filled utopia.

I don't know where to begin in saying that I loved this book. It doesn't stop, or slow down. I wanted to call in sick so I could stay home reading in bed, finishing it. This book does in 35 pages what it took "Silk" the whole thing to not quite do. The thing I thought would finish left it with fifty pages. I can't wait to read it again.
