An odd mix of funny, sad, scary and infuriating. Kendra was an interesting character who struggled to maintain a sense of self-control and personal safety after being assaulted two years prior to the beginning of this story. Case... was an interesting case study on male privilege, especially at the beginning. He did show flashes of humor and compassion that made me grow fond of him by the end.

There were some surprisingly deep elements to this story, deep in a way JAK doesn't do anymore, but sometimes the formula constraints made me want to throw things. (Or maybe those scenes were because of societal constraints. Or maybe it was just a new writer not sure how to tie everything together. This was written in 1982 after all.) ( )
