Customer Reviews

Hard to believe it's just a "media tie-in"

Based on a computer role-playing game (starring Dennis Hopper and Stephanie Seymour, no less), this novel stands well enough on it's own laurels. It has an engrossing plot, along with an interesting setting. The book reminded me a little of Robert Heinlein's "Revolt in 2100" with elements of the short-lived TV show "VR.5" thrown in. Unique.

The best book I have ever read

I have had this book since the first month it came out in book stores. Since I have read it, I have not been able to read any other books because it is so good and action packed. I have always wished that a movie would be made of it. If anyone would like to e-mail me about the book (either if you have never read it or if you just want discuss it, feel free).

I could not put it down. A very fine read.

It mixes virtual reality with the concept of heaven and hell in a very interesting way. It reads like it was written to be a movie. I really liked this book, and if anyone else out there knows of any like it, please tell me.

A killer science-fiction novel

Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller was the best book I have ever read. It had all of the makings of a good science fiction novel: Goverment plots, high-tech weapons, in the future as well as alternate realitys. You never know what will happen next in the book, it really makes you think. If you liked 1984 then you will like this book.
