1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, January 24, 2001

This review is from: Blade Runner: Replicant Night (Blade Runner, Book 3) (Paperback)

Jeter's "Blade Runner 2: The Edge of Human" was a fairly good read that captured most of the feel of the movie Blade Runner. (It's important to realize that these books are sequels to the film, not the Phillip K. Dick Book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?") I got the feeling that Jeter's intention of his first sequel was to provide closure to what happened after the events of the film and would create new adventures in the Blade Runner future. Instead, in "Replicant Night", he goes right back to Los Angeles 2019 and revisits scenes that were done in the film. I felt I did not need those scenes embellished any further, I wanted something fresh. Unfortunately, there was nothing fresh about this book at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars The only thing good about this book is the trademark., September 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Replicant Night (Blade Runner, Book 3) (Hardcover)

What can I possibly say that is GOOD about this book?? The Blade Runner trademark! I guess that's all Jeter needed to sell this book. Obviously so, because the book itself is only useful for emergency burning paper.

It suffers from the 2nd book's replay of the movie's events, ONLY MUCH MUCH WORSE. There were just TOO many replays this time, and it just became a rediculous "Find The Replays" Activity Book!

My advice (and apparently many others' too) is to skip this installment of the Blade Runner books. Just pretend you never saw it....

This review is from: Replicant Night (Blade Runner, Book 3) (Hardcover)

I enjoyed the moive, and the original and the blade runner 2 book. However, this book 3 is not worth the read. Once you start the book, it gives you teasers, and deckard the information but not you. So you wait and read to find out what deckard knows. Then when you do, it was not much. It reads more like a crime drama that takes place in a movie set than anything to do with science fiction. The author must have been hanging around movie sets at the time of writing. The book basically makes deckard look lame, he does nothing on his own, he only reacts to all these people feeding him different information. The story does not even make a good case for why he is picked for this information. Some author's write a private bible of the world they are writing about, then they write the book based on that world they created in their bible. However I get the feeling that this book is lacking so much information because the author never took the time to write a bible before the book and doe not know any of the answers himself to this world in the book. My advice is to stop at the second book. Don't let this book ruin the series for you. Too bad someone like Kevin Anderson did not write this.
