Summary: if you like reality TV, then.....
Review: ....sink your teeth into this one. The main characters (a thief, a sculptor, and a handsome actor) are sucked into a reality show/movie for the money. However, they don't know that the girl they just "saved" is a snuff film actress, and she loves to kill.Some memorable lines, too. Baird has a crisp, clean style--fiction that gleams like a space-age weapon.

Summary: Fun, Feminist, Adult Cyberpunk
Review: A funny,fast paced romp thru a future you'll really like reading about( as long as Baird's writing it), but you wouldn't really want to live in. While fast and punkish there is a supprisingly tender(3? or is it 4?)way love story winding it's way thru all the mayhem.Baird gives us some fairly complex characters in nicely subtle way. She doesn't get lazy and break thru and tell us all about the characters omnipitently, as too many authors do now.A pretty good read.

Summary: A little bit depressing...
Review: With the main character being a quirky, witty, intelligent, yet sarcastic and depressed thief who seems to constantly have PMS, one might already be forewarned what is in this book. Especially since it's written in first person. If you can get around the fact that it's based in the slums of science fiction, in a situation that depresses you from the start and never truly cheers you up afterwards, the plot is kinda good, imaginative, and well-written. There's also occasional profanity in here, and lots of references to other literary works and such that you may not get. A good read once you get into it, but there's better books out there.
