Hate to disagree w/ Dave the Shade, but I wasn't actually all that
impressed with this novel (don't know what else Nyx has done). Striper is a
cool character, and there were lots of great scenes, but it seemed very
spotty.. i.e. great scene, boring scene, great scene, boring stretch. And
I felt the ending was a let down. Maybe I'm just sick, but since Striper
is really an anti-hero, I wanted a big showdown between her and the guy
who turned into her significant other (trying to give as little as possible
away, honest). Heck, I was half looking for Striper's death. Ah, well, I
guess I'm just a bit disturbed--one reason I like most Shakespeare
tragedies is that everyone's dead in the end.
