I feel like I may be on of the last people to have gotten around to reading this dystopian scifi thriller, but I'm glad I finally listened to it (I downloaded it off of Audible). While Cline's necessity to drop some 80s reference (however obscure) in what seems like every other paragraph started to feel a little forced by the end, it was still a rollicking good story, and any 80s kid will completely dig this.

Probably One of The Weirdest
This is one of the weirdest movies I ever found myself watching and because of it I honestly cannot describe which parts were good and which parts were bad. The film was hilarious if you were looking for a bad rendition of the 80s going in but otherwise you just end up with a weird twisted 80s movie put to weird techno remixes made into musical vibing tunes.... Yeah definitely one of the weirder watches out there.

Well, that hasn't aged very well.
Mid 80s Eddie Murphy vehicle, with Eddie playing the part of an investigator who specialises in finding lost children and who is hired to find the mystical 'Golden Child', who has been kidnapped from a remote Tibetan monastery and who is supposed to save mankind from themselves.
What follows is a strange blend of (mild) horror, oriental mysticism and crime movie as Murphy is in the case.
Definitely an 80s movie in soundtrack, attitude and fashion.
