From Booklist
Blade Runner, the ingenious movie version of Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, has been widely acclaimed as one of the best sf films. With Dick long gone, Jeter undertakes the further adventures of twenty-first-century L.A. detective Deckard, whose recent narrow victory over a violent android "replicant" prompted a retreat to the wilderness with his replicant lover Rachel. But there is at least one more vendetta-minded replicant still on the loose. Sarah Tyrell, sole surviving heir to the powerful replicant-manufacturing Tyrell Corporation and the human model for Rachel, pulls Deckard out of retirement and into a no-win predicament. Not only are there more replicants than anyone guessed, but Deckard is now wanted for the murder of Pris, who was not, as he had assumed, a replicant but fully human. Jeter masterfully reproduces the gritty film noir atmosphere of the movie while providing previously undisclosed and fascinating character background. Must reading for the film's large cult following. Carl Hays

Kurzbeschreibung
K.W. Jeter picks up the tale of Rick Deckard, the `blade runner' created by Phillip K. Dick and popularized by Ridley Scott's cult classic film. Consistent with the sordid vision of 21st century Los Angeles crafted by Dick and Scott, Jeter creates a stylish piece of thrilling, futuristic suspense that finds Deckard not only in the role of hunter, but also hunted. Again, Deckard is on the trail of an replicant, not knowing that it may be the most elusive and dangerous android of all.

Format:Taschenbuch
movie-nerds' wet dream, what they'd all wished had been done with Highlander. continuation of the movie's story in the style of Dick's book, with multiple scenes which are reporductions or reflections from the original (another Deckard/Batty fight in the rain on decaying city infrastructure). Pretty good for the Geekbook mindcandy category.
Format:Taschenbuch
I can respect this book for carrying on the Blade Runner story, but in reality the whole thing's just a waste because it's pretty obvious that Deckard was a replicant. Once you know this and watch the movie, especially the Director's Cut, it becomes pretty obvious. I mean, first of all the guy gets beaten around unmerciful by just about every other replicant in the movie, yet it doesn't really seem to faze him (except for the broken fingers). He pulls himself up a building using only one hand, too. Then of course there's his Unicorn dream, and at the end of the film we see that Gaff has left a Unicorn origami for Deckard, clueing him in to the fact that Deckard himself is a replicant. Gaff knows what Deckard dreams about because he knows everything that's been implanted in Deckard's head. Of course, if this isn't enough to convince you then there's also the fact that Ridley Scott, the director of the movie, has stated that it was always his belief that Deckard was a replicant, he just never implicitly stated that in the film. My take on the end of the movie was that Deckard was slowly realizing he was a replicant (hence his fascination with playing and re-playing the interview Holden did with Leon) and then once he saw that Gaff had left the Unicorn he decided to hell with it, and went on the run with Sean Young's character, Rachel. I was hoping Jeter's book would follow this, maybe pick up right after the movie, answer some questions that the movie didn't, but instead he's just done a re-hash of the film's plot and merely given us a dry hump instead of the real thing.
Format:Taschenbuch
The second Blade Runner book is a good read especially to fans of the movie like myself. The movie does have a few things that are confusing. Some characters are alive in this book who originally died in the movie.Jeter is a great author but he should have gone all the way with this one instead of trying to squeeze in unexplained resurrected characters.This is a must have for BR buffs

Looks like a script turned novel
This novel reads like an unsold script for a Blade Runner movie turned into book form. It's just a rehash of the original...except not nearly as thought-provoking or entertaining. Lesen Sie weiter...

Almost perfect
I was extremely impressed by Jeter's sequel. The essence of the film and paranoia of PKD was repackaged very well. Lesen Sie weiter...

Put "the machine" on this book- it's a phony!
This book is a quagmire of mixed imagery the reader must slog through, only to wind up revisting a poor reprise of the classic showdown between the original Deckard and Roy Batty. Lesen Sie weiter...

You will have a hard time making it through this.
This is one of the worst books I have ever read. When reading it you never even identify with the main character "Deckard". The plot is totally different than the movie. Lesen Sie weiter...

Well written, intelligent.....but slightly stale
The problem with most sequels is that their predecesors come to natural ends. That is a problem in this sequel as well, but not as much as it could have been. Lesen Sie weiter...

Wonderful and tragic sequel
Blade Runner 2, while not as philosphical as DADES, is a suspenseful tale full of action. This is also of course, a large amount of personal pain to be inflicted on Deckard, and he... Lesen Sie weiter...

Decent, but inconsistent. Doesn't live up to Scott or Dick.
BR2 was, overall, an enjoyable read. It succeeded in keeping me guessing what exactly was going on, but left me disappointed with it's resolution. Lesen Sie weiter...

Disappointing.
Mr. Jeter did a good job in presenting Ridley Scott's gloomy "feel" of the futuristic Los Angeles. However, he should have devoted more time to develop the story instead. Lesen Sie weiter...
