Review Quote | A technicolour jazzy rollercoaster ride into a dazzling hell …Like A Clockwork Orange, this book has the makings of a cult success |
Other text | A great read, fast-paced, witty, sussed and sexy. It snaps and pops with neologisms and geek-speak, and fizzes and buzzes with gadgetry and techno-toys. |
