Title: Hate Between Covers.
Review: Boy, was this book a serious letdown. I rushed out to get it based on my love for comics and fictional futures. The premise is excellent, and Ridley's dialogue is like nothing I've ever read. It's true to life and unique. The only thing that let me down was the main character that we're (I think) supposed to be rooting for (or maybe not...maybe this is Ridley's intention). Soledad comes off as a hateful, bigoted, murderous, merciless human being. And it's not even for an understandable reason. Sure, the disaster visited upon San Francisco is horrific...but Soledad's family never made it to the city. They were all spared. This is the one thing that kept me from thoroughly enjoying the book.
