marksutherland reviewed Cemetery Beach by Warren Ellis
Review of 'Cemetery Beach' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Imagine Voivod and Napalm Death wrote a concept album while coked up after watching Fury Road. This is better than that.
I think I blitzed through this in at most three sittings but that could easily have been one if i had the time for it. It's a wild fast ride that literally scrapes the surface of a colony founded by crazed fascists at the start of the 20th century which has ossified into the sort of hierarchical mess you'd expect.
A lot of folk seem to be expecting something else from this, but it's perfect just the way it is.
