Book Reviews of Ghost In The Shell - Stand Alone Complex Volume 3: White Maze (Ghost in the Shell)
Book Review: Good concept, poor execution
Summary: 3 Stars
These novels, based on the films and manga Ghost in the Shell, illustrate how hard it is to translate from Japanese to English. To do so successfully, especially in fiction, the translator must also be a good writer. Unfortunately Camellia Nieh, the translator, is not and the novels come across as what the industry used to call "Juveniles" or books targeted at high school age kids.
The publisher probably has a contract with this translator to do the entire series, I wish they would put them through a rewrite after Camellia finishes with them, it would make these novels much better.
Summary of Ghost In The Shell - Stand Alone Complex Volume 3: White Maze (Ghost in the Shell)
The year is 2030. Advances in robotics and cyberbrain technology have transformed the world into a miraculous place where almost anything is possible - even the melding of humans and machines. In this not-too-distant future, the crimes of flesh and metal are investigated by Section 9, an elite counterterrorist squad headed by Chief Aramaki and his cyborg sidekick, Major Motoko Kusanagi. When dead bodies, drained of blood and with two bite marks on their necks, start turning up on the streets of Tokyo, it isn't long before the entire city is in a panic. As Major Kusanagi and the other members of Section 9 investigate the killings they begin to wonder - is the killer a real vampire or something much worse? In a dark world of murder, where cyberbrain hacks and treacherous conspiracies reach to the furthest heights of government, Section 9 is all that stands between the people and anarchy.General Books
