DESCRIPTION:
Steven Sweeney said "For once, Dredd may be out of his depth.". This is one of the better Dredd novels. The writing is very clean, concise, and free of confusing jargon and technobabble for the most part, and the author maintains a consistent tone throughout the novel.The author uses Armitage, one of the novels main characters, as a solid foil for Dredd, allowing the author to reveal more about Dredd and to touch upon areas the previous novel hadn't explored. With this novel, Judge Dredd evolves into something closer to a real human being than he'd been in The Savage Amusement.In a nutshell, if you enjoyed The Sa. ultra violent (just like we like it) the book has good pacing and the characters are wellwritten and true to their comic book selves. some readers may be turned off by the extreme violence but, if you're against violence judge dredd is not for you. the villian is particularly gruesome and nasty and more than a little scary. the book for the most part is a monster hunt (more of an entity than a monster) and straight forward in plot but, at the same time is a well written straight forward.. mapcase said Should be a Judge Armitage book, not Dredd. I'm a "mid-range" Dredd fan I'm familiar with more than just the "Should be a Judge Armitage book, not Dredd" according to mapcase. I'm a "mid-range" Dredd fan I'm familiar with more than just the 2 movies (Karl Urban one is great, Stallone's not so much), but not near as much as the die-hard and long-time fans so that's where I'm coming from in my expectations for this book. However, I'm an avid comic and book reader, so that plays into this review as well.This book was very well written. My issue is with it was that Dredd is really a supporting character in it. The main focus is on a Brit-Cit Detective Judge Armitage, who'd I'm not familiar with by seems to have a following.
