Review of 'Appleseed' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

Almost entirely unintelligible. Not in the sense of a Gene Wolfe artistry, but more like a twisted version of Mary Gentle and M. John Harrison. A combination of a refusal to use a simple word where a complicated one would do and a tendency to ignore quotation marks and full stops lead to an interesting, if somewhat anonymous experience. Of course, if you're describing a world where identity is mutable and there is no clear distinction between thought and speech then it all makes sense, but it makes a mockery of asking what is happening to whom.
