I'll finish it eventually because it's just a short book, but I don't think I'll like it.
After whining about it a lot I continued to read Transmetropolitan, serially borrowing the collected volumes from

Major background-level plot hole that I bet is never resolved: So there exists, in the book's world, a well-known technology to scan a dead but intact brain's neural pattern and flash-clone a new adult body to house it, and yet this isn't used by everyone (or at least everyone who can afford it) as a method of functional immortality (philosophical questions of continuity aside)? I mean, nobody even brings up the possibility? Bzzt
I forgot that I actually succeeded in teaching Battle Line to Ricky last year, and he mopped the floor with me. So I shouldn't sell him short. (It was specifically trying to teach him Go, which I don't know all that well myself, that frustrated him.)
