As I said before, I will admit to buying this because it looked cool, particularly some of the cover art, and I was a little disappointed. It's not the sort of story you can just dive on into, which I always think is off-putting for the casual reader. That being said the book had some really interesting reflections on America, and how Steve fits into the picture now that those values of the 1940s are no longer relevant. Steve lacked a bit of depth as a character but he was used in a really clever way, so a bit of a mixed bag. Keep you're eyes peeled for a full spoiler free review coming soon!
