A review by haversam
Gun Machine by Warren Ellis

4.0

This book was like a really good cover song. You know the lyrics but the tempo or harmony might be changed to give you a better appreciation for the song. Kind of like Pearl Jam's cover of Last Kiss. The original sounded to me to be happy for a song about losing your sweetheart.

You know the loner detective, the crazy CSUs, the tough police Lt., and the conspiracy. The way that Ellis weaves his story, the language that he uses and his sense of how a crime drama should play out was fascinating to read.

I enjoyed it. It came off as a guilty pleasure kind of enjoyability but nevertheless I really enjoyed reading it.
