A review by 5wamp_creature
Atom by Steve Aylett

3.0

I can't read avant-garde fiction quickly. But, Atom is pretty fun. I am reminded of Dick Tracy, the Movie, if made by David Lynch. There is definite and clearly plotted story here, unlike what I found in Mark Leyner's "My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist" (although Leyner made me laugh until I had to put the book down.)
Atom is an acid trip detective story. At times I felt the avant-garde-ness was getting in the way. I'll probably reread this and find one more by Aylett.

Recommended, very short to try.
