Vurt by Jeff Noon
5.0
EXTREMELY questionable and ~edgy~ 5 stars. but in the end GOOD because f*** the police and ride or die. inception is a shitttyyyyyy ass version of vurt. paprika is kind of gettjng closer. the most comparable thing is the kunihiko ikuhara cinematic universe . in that there’s sooo much f’d up again QUESTIONABLE shit but the core story is really wholesome…… like literally this is about some kids dealing with trauma and abuse all alone (cept for each other) in a police state, some thru drugs some thru writing some thru bravado some thru friendship some thru hotwiring cars, finding escape in fantasy but also facing the final boss when it matters because you love your homies. beetle is a great character btw reminds me of mike pemulis and other bad influence heart of gold trash boys, brid too. angel. and mandy. they deserve a blue feather but for real, u know? ACAB. this is for you mandy, beetle, brid, the thing, tristan, suze…..keep the faith. hope all u dogpeople are running free!
nb. i really don’t want to get into the whole alice in wonderland connections which make me sick because of lewis carroll being a disgusting creep but here we are
one last thing the writing is really good. like he’ll be saying this crazy or funny shit and then suddenly something just so heartfelt like a sucker punch to the gut. not to mention the puns. lmao. some might say shame for such a great writer to be writing about [redacted] but i say… oh what the hell!!
