Helpful Score: 5
Crooked Little Vein (hereafter CLV because that's easier to type), was amusing. I don't see the similarities to Spider Robinson's Callahan's Lady and Lady Sling's the Booze that others have mentioned, but boy, did I see a lot from Bad Signal, Strange Kisses, Transmetropolitan, Come In Alone and From the Desk Of. I don't think Warren Ellis throws anything away - CLV recycles lines and bits from his previous works all over the place.
The repeats didn't annoy me (as I am a drooling Ellis fanboy), and some of the lines amused my father to no end - I think I made a convert there. I think this book would be a wonderful read for folks who have not read Ellis before.
Recommended. Go forth and read it people and generate a good buzz.
