I did not give this book much time, but in the first few pages I understood..um nothing. The word choices and such are beyond me.

"Teenage Mutant Robot Vampires" is a minimalist review I've heard of this book.
Dead Girls is one of those books, movies, or tv series finales that makes you feel like you've been kicked in the head and leaves you walking around in a haze for a couple of days.
People usually say the sequels aren't as good and they are a step down but I think they're also just harder to understand. Information virus traveling backward through time overwriting history is a weird concept but I think Dead Boys(originally titled Strange Genetalia) and Dead Things were great in their own right.

I really reallly reallllly liked the "Dead Girls" story at the beginning of this book, but by the time "Dead Boys" started I felt like he was attempting to carry a torch that had burned low, and allowed his protagonist to become catastrophic and unexciting. After awhile, Calder's poetics turned into dribble and was incoherent to the point of being boring. I am not a book snob when it comes to this writing style, as "Naked Lunch" is written in the same fashion and I didn't have such a hard time with it.
