review 1: These Cartlon Mellick books are a lot of fun. They are truly modern pulp and adhere to a quickly-written, thrilling, shocking, and strange aesthetic. While I did not enjoy this one as much as The Haunted Vagina, The Cannibals of Candyland, Ape Shit, or Warrior Wolf Women of the Wasteland, it was still a fun ride. The vaguely Rashomon-like structure allowed a view on the central robbery from a variety of angles. Punk, in writing and the publishing industry, is definitely not dead.
review 2: Even with Mellick's Bizarro style that usually makes his characters so dissociated with reality that they are hard to like. I found myself really liking all of the main characters in this story. Their backgrounds were actually sort of real (you know, in a non-realistic-dysto... morepian-post-apocalyptic-radioactive-wasteland-sort of way). This book was a good form of satire for how debt affects society. Even though it was truly unrealistic, it still had a lot of great concepts that pointed out how society seems to react to the lower class citizens of the world. Very good. A few errors in the grammar and writing itself, but the story definitely overpowered any grammatical mistakes Mellick may have made. One word. Awesome. less
