5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to believe it's just a "media tie-in", September 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller - A Novel (Paperback)

Based on a computer role-playing game (starring Dennis Hopper and Stephanie Seymour, no less), this novel stands well enough on it's own laurels. It has an engrossing plot, along with an interesting setting. The book reminded me a little of Robert Heinlein's "Revolt in 2100" with elements of the short-lived TV show "VR.5" thrown in. Unique.

This review is from: Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller - A Novel (Paperback)

It mixes virtual reality with the concept of heaven and hell in a very interesting way. It reads like it was written to be a movie. I really liked this book, and if anyone else out there knows of any like it, please tell me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A killer science-fiction novel, March 21, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller - A Novel (Paperback)

Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller was the best book I have ever read. It had all of the makings of a good science fiction novel: Goverment plots, high-tech weapons, in the future as well as alternate realitys. You never know what will happen next in the book, it really makes you think. If you liked 1984 then you will like this book.
