Dear mr. Edelman

I’m actually writing an assignment on”The Informers” in these days, and I found your review very interresting. But it is writeni the 90′s, and I wonderes if you have changed your opinion since then.
I agree with you, that the book draws an unrealistic picture of the youngsters in the 80′s, but somehow I find that there is more to this book, than it seems?

Robert: They made a movie out of this book?

And again, it’s been way too long since I read the book. Couldn’t tell you why he called it “The Informers.”

Hi, I think your review was a little harsh, but I am a guy who grew up in the 80s and its nice to hear all the old expressions like rad and gnarly and old references to all that old new wave music and mtv and so on… so I’m probably biased. I enjoyed The Informers, it was a quick read – I thought the chapter with the kid in the bathtub was a little too much, very different from the movie, but I was left wondering why the book was called “The Informers”… any thoughts?

I agree with this review… “The Informers” was painful for me to read. It couldn’t be any more dull and repetitive..

Bobby: If you hadn’t posted your comment 16 years after I wrote this review, I might have cared.

You’re a moron who will never approach Mr. Ellis in terms of writing ability or human sentiment. Good science fiction is dead and you are proof.
