Summary: Warning - Not In Line With Authetic Bible Teachings
Review: The titular numerals, "2024", are not meant to correspond to any cryptic biblical reference. Do not be fooled. Ted Rall may be trying to hide secret anti-christian codes in this book and if you buy it you are only abetting Satan. The Bible teaches us that by the year 2024 the real world will not be a cartoon like it is represented in this book. On the other hand, the jokes are funny, especially how he names the lead character, "Winston". I had a dachshund named Winston when I was a boy. Dogs don't live long and there was no way this one would ever live to the year 2024.

Summary: Read 1984 first
Review: This graphic novel is basically just a satire of "1984". The storyline is kind of erratic, but if you have read "1984" you will completely understand what is going on. "2024" is a humorous prediction from Ted Rall on what the future will be like. Instead of Big Brother watching, it is us who are watching each other, and it is scary look at what the future will be like. Of course since it is Ted Rall, this sad look at the future of society is completely hilarious. If you've read "1984" and are a fan of Ted Rall or just curious, then by all means purchase this book. The only downfall of this book is that it is sort of short but it is still a funny read.

Summary: A mixed bag
Review: True, 2024 has some biting commentary and it's most definitely food for thought. But even as someone who agrees with Rall's views, particularly in his regular work, including comics and articles, I still think this is an overblown comic book all prettied up for a hardcover book. There's just not enough meat here to justify the format. The characters are rather plain and have very little distinguishing characteristics. I think that's part of Rall's point -- people losing their individuality. However, even 1984, which I'm honestly not a fan of in terms of general fiction readability, had better characters than this. 2024 is good, but it's really just an overpriced comic book with a good message.
