4.0 out of 5 stars A kid plot with adult content (But that's a good thing), Jun 10 2001

By	Josh (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: City Come A Walkin' (Paperback)

This book really opens up your imagenation, because it's plot. You really need to look at the wording to understand a lot of it.The only thing I didn't like about this novel was it was a little slow at times.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique..., April 9 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: City Come A Walkin' (Paperback)

This is probably the most unique concept I've come across. The idea of a the city's consciousness manifesting itself is fresh and interesting. It's hard to believe this title is as old as it is. It seems like recently written cyberpunk. Pretty obvious that instead, all other cyberpunk has taken from it.

3.0 out of 5 stars The parameters of urban morality, Jan 31 2001

By	Mac Tonnies (Kansas City, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: City Come A Walkin' (Paperback)

Shirley's early novel "City Come A Walkin'" takes us on a surreal (and frequently brutal) jaunt through a near-future San Fransisco where the city's overmind has the ability to manifest as a mirrorshades-wearing techno-shaman with a marked dislike for bad guys. The brilliance and terror behind this straight-forward tale is Shirley's refreshing refusal to cling to genre conceits. "City Come A Walkin'" challenges the nature of identity as well as the parameters of urban morality.
