My Review
Overall this was a good read. There are 32 short stories here, featuring all walks of life, differing Mega-City locations and narratives. I'm not going to bore you with which are good and bad, you need to decide that for yourself if you read. For me the title story stands out, mainly because it's really well written, but also because of the juxtaposition of the two main characters involved. And if you have existing knowledge of Dredd comics then this story will hit the spot, if you don't I’m afraid you'll be left wondering 'What’s the big deal?'
This book is quite restricting for its audience. If you like and follow Judge Dredd comics, and let's face it there are a lot of them, this book is for you. It's a great roll of snapshots from all over the big Meg. But drokk, if you know stomm about Dredd then Grud help you, 90% of this book is going to go right over the head of the average norm.
