From the New York Times:
This entertaining novel is “something of a science-fiction ‘Catcher in the Rye,’” Jonathan Ames wrote in the Book Review, and Ruff’s protagonist
is “a female Holden Caulfield, except she kills criminals with the equivalent of a ray gun.” Ruff throws in a little Philip K. Dick and Thomas Pynchon for good measure.
