While I enjoyed this series I am not sure it would be something that I would recommend to anyone. I feel anyone that reads this series should find it on their own or be led to it by what they read. I don’t want to be responsible for recommending something that overtly mocks aspects of their life. That being said I recommend that no one under the age of mature (yes I know that is not an age, but everyone matures at a different point) should read it.

Transmetropolitan
Transmetropolitan: Tales of Human waste, Transmetropolitan: Back on the Street, and Transmetropolitan: Lust for Life by Warren Ellis, 110, 67 and 202 pages
The Transmetropolitan series is one of those you
will either like or hate. The main character is Spider Jerusalem an in your face
tell it how he sees it reporter who is out to destroy the world, and in some
cases rightfully so. His methods are crude, unusual and at times disgusting but
he gets results. The “articles” that he writes are more ranting than anything
else and usually about what ever pissed him off that day. The topics range from
religion to politics with quite a few about modern culture. It is certainly an
eye opening book in more ways than one.
