Book Reviews of Crooked Little Vein: A Novel
Book Review: 10,000 Words on a Theme
Summary: 4 Stars
Warren Ellis has a way with words, that much has to be admitted and that's one of the best things about this book. It grabs you and pulls you through to the last page just because you want to see if the nastier side of America wins in the end.
There are some rather questionable items in this book and several things that make your stomach turn. Warren Ellis himself gave 10,000 words to his literary agent to make her stop bugging her and it's fairly easy to see which ten thousand. But that said, the one redeeming feature of the underside of societies vices is the fact that the main character is almost more disgusted at it than the reader.
But all things weighed, I liked it. It's very much along the lines of Transmetropolitan, so if you liked Spider Jerusalem, you'll love this.
