alexhaydon's review against another edition

This book is a fever dream. Did I love it? No. Did I hate it? No. Would I read it again? Possibly…I almost want to dive back in on page one just to try and make some sense of it all. Which is pointless as I know this style of book well by now and it’s best to let most if not all its quirks wash over you. I enjoyed many elements of this. It felt like the love child of Irvine Welsh, Philip K Dick and Christopher Nolan with a sprinkling of Vandermeer or Mieville🤔 as much as I loved how adventurous it was, how multi- dimensional it was and damn right weird, there are some uncomfortable things that I really hope don’t reflect Noon’s beliefs…see trigger warnings. Other than that I’d have liked the characters to have been a bit fuller, with a real sense of identity. Absolutely mad reading here.
