My Ratings: 7 Merit, 7 Interest, 5 Fun
Having read the Griffin and Sabine books, I was expecting a bit of a different story. Bantock is always good at twisting reality and coming up with something strange, accompanied by lots of amazing art.
I should know better than to have any expectations of him, though. This book was much more straightforward. The subtitle--"a strangely sensual tale of a Renaissance explorer, a computer, and a metamorphosis"--sounds thrilling. And it starts that way, but just didn't hold up towards the end. Still, the pictures are wonderful, and the idea of a ghost in a computer is kind of interesting.
