This is a book with plenty to say about the way we live now and a witty and engaging manner of saying it. With its mixture of assured storytelling, clever ideas and a half-amused, half-tender portrayal of alienation in a fantastical big city milieu, Love Minus Eighty is an excellent example of character-driven, thematically rich SF, and even those usually frosty to the genre should get something out of it. * BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY *
The future world is delicately drawn, the characters all too human, and the science is easy. For both romantic and action story lovers everywhere * Maxim J. Jakubowski, Lovereading.co.uk *
