Review
Dabbling in the occult, Marlowe must unravel the mystery of his missing ex-girlfriend while struggling with his current obsessions: Fiona, a fiery lolita, who will do anything for an extra buck, and Isabelle, an artificial intelligence with a jealous streak as cold and wide as a space highway. --Entertainment Today
This is an excellent techno-romp that moves along at such a pace to keep things interesting and edgy. If you like futuristic cyber-thrillers with style, class and quality then this book is a must-have. A delight to behold. --BlogCritics Magazine
Whilst it definitely squeezes at least one foot in the pigeonhole of horror, Moon Age Daydream is horror at its best, with the sort of realism that imagination can't invent. --The Magickal Review

Scarier than it looks,
By Sara Q. "Sara Q." (Syracuse, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moon Age Daydream (Hardcover)
My husband gave me this book which he picked up from a comic convention, and I read it because I really liked the cover--and I like books about AIs. The futuristic language was difficult at first, but then I realized there is a dictionary at the end and after awhile I didn't need that either. But the end gets way scarier than I thought--almost like a horror movie....I generally don't like horror books, but I suppose it did make the end more intense.

Clockwork Orange on acid,
By Orwellian Disaster (Sedona, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moon Age Daydream (Hardcover)
First of all this is a difficult book at the beginning. The language is estranged at first due to the complete newness of the at times baffling slang and lingo, but the highly visceral and panoramic world of Moon Age Daydream soon turns out to be quite accessible when it comes to human emotions, and as much as I enjoyed the language by the end of the book (no longer even needing to look up the words in the Lexicon after about the halfway mark), I feel the strongest point is understanding the male psyche after a break up.
It seems like an intensely personal book. Once I realized that, I warmed up to the language which I at first thought cold and overly-cerebral. But in inverse proportion to the character Celesete's slow transformation from sweet high-school girl into _spoiler here_, the language seems to warm up and congeal and actually seemed perfectly natural by the end of the book. And believe me, after the first 5 minutes of this book I thought I was going to give it the worst review ever, so I'll just give a heads up to be patient...but because this a book with a lot of edges, both stylistically and emotionally it won't be for everyone. There were some things that were quite beyond me but with whatever flaws I noticed it's a lot more original than anything I've seen in eight or nine years.

Blistering neurological nightmarescape and yet with an escapable sense of nostalgia,
By Reise O'Reilly (Somewhere in time) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moon Age Daydream (Hardcover)
The nostalgia seems to be for all things psychedelic, especially music between early Pink Floyd up through the Cars.
The language is funky fun and the pacing is fast enough. The end left me desiring to know more, and yet I know I missed many clues and layers. I hope to get more the second time through.
