Book Reviews of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (Novel - Paperback): After The Long Goodbye
Book Review: A Surprising Treat
Summary: 4 Stars
This novel is an interesting addition to the GITS franchise. It is fast paced and not overly complicated. One also does not need to be a huge "Ghost in the Shell" fan to understand "Innocence:After a long Goodbye."
I highly recommend this book. I always do wonder what gets lost when I'm reading translated novels. But the American writer appears to have done a fine job.
"Innocence:After a long Goodbye" allows us to become intimate with the inner workings of the cyborized Batou as he searches for his beloved basset hound. We follow him through encounters with a Yakuza kingpin, an empathic autistic child and greyhounds chasing rabbits which only exist in their head, among others.
"Innocence:After a long Goodbye" explores some of the same themes as the rest of the GITS series: Namely, what it means to be human. Are we human if none of our body parts are?
But it also explores love. Can loving a person or animal with all one's plastic and metal heart create a soul where none existed previously? Can animals sense our souls? Do they love us back as much as we want to think?
