4.0 out of 5 stars A must for Gibson and Sterling fans!, December 20, 2001

By	Jeff Edwards (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Remix (Paperback)

The best entry in the Cyber-Noir (ala-Techno-Punk-Gothic-Whatever) genre in a long time. Grimwood's writing has the same sort of manic energy that made Gibson's 'Sprawl Trilogy' such a treat, but (in my honest and humble opinion), Grimwood is a much better story teller. The future, as seen by Grimwood, is fast, deadly, and technology has pretty-much gone berserk. Good fun, and a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grimwood - a *very* fine talespinner, March 17, 2002

By	John L. Clarke, III (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Remix (Paperback)

I have been wondering when someone would take up the Gibson era and provide us with the continuation of what we all know and believe to be the 'real' future - that darkly dangerous, shrivelingly exciting manic world - and Jon has. In fact, as someone else has pointed out, he's done it better. Gibson opened the door, Jon drags us kicking and screaming (but like the thrill ride folks scream - in warped joy) into that razor spiked world. This is not Gibson remixed (no pun), this is Grimwood, and stands very much alone and of itself.

reMix is an excellent tale. Get it. Read it. See for yourself. He's got it down. My thanks to Jon for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars if you liked stephenson's snowcrash..., July 24, 2002

... you will ADORE remix by grimwood. it's cyberpunk tarantino, man. witty, keen, superb, fast-laned,... like if author was on total speed in the course of writing. you will feel like this too, when you first put your hands on this astonishingly fresh sf novel with so many twists. wasn't able to put it down, breathless. for all fans of this genre - i also highly recommend noir by jeter (for more demanding readers) and china mieville's perdido street station. enjoy your summer sf freaks!
