Customer Reviews

Vurtually perfect (sorry!)

I never thought maths could be sexy. This is easily the best book from the Vurt series, the literary equivalent of listening to Autechre or Funkstorung, Strange and alien, yet emotional, and beautiful. This is not science fiction, it's much too good for that.

It's dom, dom, domino time!

Just finished Jeff Noon's latest juicy morsel and I'm buzzing like a blurbfly! This has to be one of Noon's best books yet, filled with all the cyber-grit, humor, and vazed up sexiness that readers have learned to expect from Noon. Play to win my children! This book is jazzing from start to finish. Even I was hoping to win, holding a phantom domino bone in my hand, waiting for Cookie Luck to finish her dance. It's domino time, get this baby while you can and be careful my kittlings this is not a tome to be handled lightly.

So intense I screamed at the end

Nymphomation was an intense reading experience unlike one I've ever had before. Once I realized it was a prequel to Vurt, one of my favorite books, I became even more interested in it. I hate to use cliches, but this book really WAS a non-stop roller coaster ride. It was fast-paced and thrilling, nail-biting and had me "on the edge of my seat." But seriously - the tension in this book was so high that when I finally finished it - reading the last 200 pages in one long nonstop burst - I screamed to release everything that was pent up inside. If you want a book that will throw you into another world and won't let you out even after the book is closed, read Nymphomation.

High Noon.

This book serves as a fantastic prequel to Vurt and Pollen, answering many of the questions you didn't even realize you were asking. Pansexuality, curry, game shows, and mass obsessive-compulsive disorder-- delicious reading.
