 | | There is still some ambiguity to the plot, but with the context of Frenzetta especially, some of the more seemingly inexplicable threads are resolved, for me. The remainder of them work well as deliberate ambiguity. |
 | | A swirling giddy mix of William Gibson and William S Burroughs, Cythera is a veritable vortex of images - Lolita-like doll children, beautiful cyborgs, pirate ships, Antarctican mansions, computers, ghosts. |
 | | Cythera has its gems, many flashes of sharp and surreal brilliance, but it was rather like watching a firework display that went on too long; reading more than a chapter or so had me reaching for my headache pills (I've given myself a headache now, just from thinking up all those metaphors!) |
