Summary: How Could You Not...
Review: How could someone NOT like this book, I rad half of it the day I got it, but forced myself to put it down so that I would have something to read in class. I found the whole book interesting and though I had to reread some parts I think it was worth it. I loves the futuristic world inwhich you could get feathers to take you on a dream like trip. I just really love this book and recommend it to anyoen and everyone.

Summary: Curious, intriguing book with a twisted plot
Review: Noon's style of writing is fluid enough to keep one entertained for hours (ex. 'Girl cast a heavy shadow.'). He takes out the articles and gets straight to the meat of the sentence. It's been years since I've read the book, yet Scribble (the main character) stays with me. His odd view on life and the situations he gets into fascinate me. Most interesting is the relationship between Suze and her boyfriend...so...completely inseparable are they that they cannot bear to be physically apart.Noon put much thought into creating this world of Uberdogs and psychedelic feathers and it shows. Curious Yellow eludes me to this day...

Summary: A thoroughly satisfying read..
Review: It always amazes me when an author can write a book about the future using a language of the future.. This book does just that.. Every chapter holds a some kind of new perspective described through some new verbiage.. The story begins with events that materialize in the brain as somewhat foriegn and hard to comprehend yet promoting a desire to keep reading just to see where you end up.. Very imaginative.. For those of you who are just a bit too conservative or unimaginative (like the poor whining soul below) I wouldn't recommend this book. For those of you who can't get enough of the fictionalized hyperrealistic cyber-culture that seems to be unfolding before us, I suggest you go get this book NOW..

Summary: Startling, riveting reading
Review: Vurt is not a pretty book. Vurt is not an easy book. It's also difficult to categorise. Cyber-punk, with a touch of romantic fantasy, making for a roller-coaster ride of emotion and dare-devil stunts. Noon writes in a sharp, syncopated fashion that gives the reader the impression that he writes of what he knows. Worrying? Perhaps. Readable? Definitely. Go back and read Vurt after you have read Pollen and Nymphomation. You will then appreciate the simplicity and creativity with which Noon writes.

Summary: Such a pity!
Review: I never actually finished this book (about 30 pages left), pure because it got so boring at one point (Chapter 3 onwards) that I couldn't even concentrate on the words anymore. The idea of a futuristic world with a new hallucinogenic drug is quite interesting; it's Noon's writing that spoils the story. Maybe a better writer could've turned the same idea into a page-turner, but Noon's selection of words is beyond boring and that is such a pity. By the way, I'm shocked to find that so many people actually liked this book. I expected the average number of stars to be 1 not 5!

Summary: Dreamlike adventure
Review: Vurt is another classic quest novel that spans across one's imagination and dreams. Chaotic, dark, sexy, and humorous is how I would describe this novel. With characters named Scribble and Twinkle, Jeff Noon has created a world that blends together reality and unreality, dream and substance, and all the classic literary elements like love, hate, and adventure into this amazing epic. Truly an amazing work of art that I'd recommend to anyone.

Summary: One of My Favorites
Review: What can I say??? This book picked me up and sucked me in, and left me changed forever. Never before had I felt such a connection with a character. The book is like a Vurt feather in itself, taking you inside its world, which seems deceptively simple, and before you know it, you are feeling things you never expected to feel. I highly reccomend all of Jeff Noon's work.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: I love the dreamlike quality of this book, and Scribble's poetic thoughts. Vurt is a wonderful example of cyberpunk, as it shimmers just at the edge of what is conceivably possible right now. Though the world Noon paints in this book seems a bit hazy, the explanation DOES come through in his next novel, Pollen, which I suggest if you like this book.

Summary: read this book
Review: Vurt is unique.The more you read,the more original it gets.It starts off like some crappy cheap cyberpunk book-a bunch of sterotypes robbing a drugstore,but soon turns into an incredibly original maelstrom of twisted events fluxing in and out of a cyber-plethoric orgy of reality and dream world.It's towards the end,where you really learn of the relationship between the main hero and his sister,that the reader is blown away.It still leaves an infintude of questions relating to the operations of the vurt and the characters,of which the answers are constantly hinted at in his other books.I'm not suprised it won the Arthur C.Clarke award!
