review 1: Wick isn't your average end-of-the-world novel. It wouldn't make a good summer action blockbuster starring Bruce Willis. That's not to say that there's no action, but Wick is one of those stories where the movie could never do justice to the book. You'd lose the heart of the story, which takes place in the main character's mind and soul. Written in the style of a Russian novel, Wick explores relationships, philosophy, politics and society from multiple angles, leaving the reader with a lot to think about as the pages fly by. The action doesn't start on page one, it builds slowly in the style of many classics of an older era. This is a literary end-of-the-world novel, but I don't mean that in a college professor/what is the symbolism of the skateboard way. It's the kind of ... morea book that sticks with you and you'll want to read again. But you won't have time, because you'll be busy reading Michael Bunker's other works. The point is that you'll want to read it again, it's that good.
review 2: Wick turned my thinking on its head. It made me think about my perceptions and my realities. I was made to think about things that made me feel uncomfortable (rightly so - in that's a good thing, whether or not you agree). At one stage I thought, 'conspiracy theory' not my cup of tea but the author/s deconstructed that as well.This story I was gripped by, I was very glad that I downloaded the omnibus. There is one character who is a common thread throughout but not all the other characters are aware they have that one character in common. Its a post-apocalyptic novel featuring several groups of characters building their own story that head zigzaggingly in the same direction. Suffice to say that you identify and buy into them all and become caught up in their adventures. Be prepared to be devastated occasionally. less
