Title: It's the Vurt-U-Want
Review: Vurt is a wild ride across the dreamscape of the mind. Anexcellent first novel, that promises the reader both excitementfor this work and for future works by Mr. Noon.The characters are fairly well developed, and the landscapeboth visual and surreal. The storyline involves a futuristicdrug, a thing from outer space, a "gang" and a lost love.The drug causes the usual societal problems, crime, sex,violence, and lack of respect for police. But it also leadsthe protaganist on a journey of learning, longing andmetaphysical discovery. Not bad for a brightly coloredfeather and a bunch of Dog People, Robots, humans and variouscombinations of those.While I wouldn't want to call it, like the book jacket does,the "Clockwork Orange of the '90's," it is a futuristic,rampaging youth, thriller that performs well.I look forward to reading more from Mr. Noon.
