A review by hank
Moxyland by Lauren Beukes

4.0

I am a Beukes fan, but this was probably my least favority of hers. The world building was excellent but I couldn't get a handle on the characters. There were lots and they all seemed the same at the beginning. By the time I had them all untangled the book ended. What I like about Beukes writing is, pardoxically all of the diverse characters she manages to weave into a coherent story. This, one of her earlier books, shows her potential but doesn't quite blend it all together.

Even with my tepid remarks, this is a good cyber-punky story filled with gene tech and robot dogs. 3.5 stars rounded up because as usual I don't think Beukes gets as much love as she deserves.
