As with many of the 33-1/3 series, the book made me re-listen to the album again. Nice background info, and it brought up connections that I hadn't really considered before (Kraftwerk in particular). Fun read.
This came highly recommended and while I didn't think it was a perfect book, it's something I would suggest to people looking for a different take on urban fantasy. It's an older book (circa 1987) so that alone makes it a bit different. Most of us who read fantasy/urban fantasy are pretty tired of the whole "fae" thing and honestly there's not a lot of interesting fae stuff here (that's all been done before--and after--and in more detail) but for someone who loves the 80s there's so much fun stuff here. The main male character is, honestly, a dead ringer for Prince--at least that was my interpretation--and there's a lot of discussion of fashion, early 80s music and Minneapolis. I liked the fact Bull didn't bother to explain everything, and that her fantasy world is very small in scope--we don't get a lot of background, or understanding of how it works in the scheme of the entire world, which in some ways is a refreshing change from authors who info-dump but also makes the book feel small, which I'm sure wasn't her intent. The story feels a bit boxed in as a result. There's a little romance too, and (best of all) Eddi actually tells her friends WHAT THE F IS GOING ON--there's an alien notion in UF--and I thought it was a lot of fun.
its the bomb
