Nachtrag aus '22
4 stars
Ich habe ein wenig Hintergrund im Bereich der Soziologie und für diesen Kenntnisstand war mir das Buch leider zu oft zu seicht und länglich. Thema und Aussagen sind dennoch interessant.

Only interesting for its historical context. I read as preparation for Marschner's romantic opera of the same name and it did its purpose.
kiki reviewed The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep by H. G. Parry
Nope
2 stars
Der Hauptcharakter ist sozial defizitär und macht seinen Bruder wiederholt runter, was schwer zu ertragen ist. Überhaupt fiel es mir schwer für irgendeine der Figuren Sympathie aufzubauen. Die Story wird erst nach der Hälfte einigermaßen spannend. Wäre mir das Buch nicht empfohlen (und ausgeliehen) worden, hätte ich es nicht (zu Ende) gelesen.

Classic cyberpunk

It takes a while until the suspense eventually builds up. Otherwise, a great cyberpunk read, but with less cyber than Neuromancer had.

5 stars
The story is kind of a standard gritty revenge plot with some mystery added. The art is the truly remarkable thing here, mixing fine details and heavy brushes perfectly. The best moments are when it becomes surreal.
This series is also a modern classic of (North American) indie publishing. It's a one person project which was initially released through monthly issues (which is a whole lot of work for a single person). I'll definitely read the rest of the series.
