5.0 out of 5 stars
Blade Runner in San Francisco. Loved it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Destroying Angel (Paperback)
I spotted this book in the book store, and grabbed it because the cover looked interesting. I absolutly could not put it down. It is fast paced and the prose is excellent. I love Russo's sense of what the future could be. This is my favorite of his novels and I highly recommend it. I bought it in 1993, and have read it at least ten times. It is what I consider to be a nearly perfect novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Blader Runner-style cyberpunk story.,
By "markorin" (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Destroying Angel (Paperback)
Destroying Angel is a fun stroll through the deadly neon-lit concrete jungle of a sinister dark future of the 21st century. Scary and depressing while at the same time hopeful and thought-provoking. Realistic charaters and believable setting make this novel a must-read for fans of cyberpunk! WARNING: contains graphic violence, profanity, sadistic behavior, and nearly every psychopath, oddball, and misfit you will find in a real city! reader's discretion is advised.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Thriller,
By
This review is from: Destroying Angel (Paperback)
The first novel of the Carlucci trilogy is less about Frank Carlucci than it is about retired officer Louis Tanner, but it shares the same locale, wild thrills, unexpected turns and taut writing. Russo creates a believable near-future, fully fleshed-out with characters who continue on through the rest of the trilogy. Carlucci is introduced and appears, but he plays only a "second banana" role. The story in this book sets up the remaining two novels, and if you read one you'll want to read all three of this excellent set. I only wish I'd been able to read them in proper order.Let's hope this novel is back in print shortly and becomes easier to find. It deserves it!!!
