Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

In an effort to be amusing and diverse , I feel the author has spread himself too thin , and has ended up being neither . The stories tend to be a collection of hearsay rather than fact at times , and he is not nearly as funny as he thinks he is .

The evolution of the Judges system of justice and Mega City One throughout the book is interesting to read about , and it is only towards the end that the Judge Dredd that we know and love comes to the fore . The stories themselves are quite caustic in places in terms of their social commentary , whuich can raise the odd wry smile… Read more
