Book Reviews of The Jennifer Morgue
Book Review: A better novel than the Atrocity Archive
Summary: 4 Stars
In The Atrocity Archives, Charles Stross delivered a short novel, a longish novella, and an essay about the intersection between horror and the spy novel. In The Jennifer Morgue, Stross delivers a medium-ish novel (The Jennifer Morgue), a medium-ish short story (Pimpf, which apparently means "little squirt" in German), and an essay (The Golden Age of Spying, which features an "interview" with Ernst Blofeld) about James Bond and the nature of Big Evil. Strictly comparing the two novels, while The Atrocity Archive had novelty and a weightier plot on its side, The Jennifer Morgue is better written and just feels more like a novel. It is also a *silly* novel, although not as silly as "Pimpf", where Stross really turns on the geekspeak. Most Stross readers will be satisfied with this one. Others are welcome to start here; while readers of The Atrocity Archives will be more up to speed, I don't think the earlier book is a prerequisite to reading this one.
Summary of The Jennifer Morgue
