SAMURAI VS ROBO-DICK. The title evokes certain images and expectations. The book delivers something much different. This is no Japanese Kung Fu/Sci Fi mash-up. SvRD is a story that takes place everyday across suburban America.
This is the tale of community association oppression. Its done wonderfully. I'd like to say its over the top but oftentimes its problably not far from the truth. I would wager author Steve Lowe was himself a victim of neighborhood oppression.
The title doesn't come into play until the last quarter of this quick read. If your in the market from Jackie Chan shit, this one will come up short for you. But don't move on yet. Steve Lowe still has an engaging story to tell. If you live in a town home you will relate. If you haven't you will learn to stay away from these gated oasis of oppression. Live Free or Die!

I gave this a four because I'm going to give the screenplay a five! The crazy sh!t going down in this florida retirement community cries out for film and a healthy special effects budget -maybe Tarantino WILL option it-who knows? But it seems more the territory of an Edgar Wright / Coen Brothers collaboration?
