review 1: Excellent storyline, and fast pacing. I enjoyed every minute of this read. I like it so much this book is going to be one of my keepers. It goes on the shelf (somewhere) until I can read it again or pass it on to a good friend. The book itself is well-made, and the dust jacket is colorful and full of fine details. As for the story, the characters in this dystopian post-apocalyptic world are nicely fleshed out. Haha. Really, I do like the characters and missed them when I finished. The book has an unexpected conclusion, not at all what one expects to happen, but surprisingly satisfying, and then again, leaving one wanting the story to continue.
review 2: Mostly I liked this story, but not as much as I had expected. Although I loved the half-drowned New York sett... moreing, and the parallel with horror works such as those of Lovecraft's, I found some of the descriptions redundant, and the villain not that impressive. More than anything, though, I wish we had seen more of Joe himself. Maybe it's my fascination with golems speaking, but I really wanted to see that part exploited more than it was. less
