I have a rule: If I read 50 pages of a book and can't get into it, I don't finish it.

I didn't finish "I, Lucifer". It's not that the content bothered me or that it is poorly written. It felt like I was trying to follow the thought pattern of an ADHD coke head, which is perfect for Lucifer. The author did a beautiful job of stepping into Satan's head, but I found it blasted impossible to read. Like trying to slog through quicksand in Hell. There are others who loved this book, and you might too, but I didn't find the story engaging enough to fight through the author's clouded prose.

"A" for effort, "B" for story, "F" for readability.
