Professional Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Logan maneuvers a large cast through overlapping sections of the plot, setting up characters separately and then slamming them into violent confrontations. Readers who can tolerate the deliberately unpleasant action will appreciate the skill with which it's presented.

January Magazine
Each chapter is told from a different character’s perspective, a device that sounds awkward and, truthfully, sometimes is. But the ambition to even attempt it speaks volumes for this author and there are times where—despite the grit and the tawdry surroundings—Logan comes very close to creating something like art. . .There are times that Katja From the Punk Band is so good its almost scary.
