henryarmitage's review against another edition
4.0
I'm going to describe this as brilliant but with some flaws.
Jeter has really nailed Philip K Dick's amphetamine-fueled paranoid writing style
and at times I really felt like I was reading PKD.
There were a couple of interesting twists on the Blade Runner story here.
Some decent action in the first half but then the story gets mired down in several large
expository lumps in the second half.
I found the Jim Thompson ending ambiguous and unsatisfying, like the author made his
point about what was REALLY going on in Blade Runner and lost interest in telling the story
about his protagonist.
