The artwork is amazing but the gratuous female nudity and the storyline leave me cold.

I really wanted to like this graphic novel. It had me hooked at the start, but as I continued I felt myself slowly disengaging. The premise is cool and I like the idea of the story.

I'm really glad I pushed through the first couple of pages, which didn't engage me at all. Reminder presents a depressing world that's all about what technology can do to us when left unchecked. Nothing else seems to matter, not laws, not humanity, nothing but information and entertainment. ...
