Dalton A. (wanderlust) reviewed on 6/11/2011 + 10 more book reviews

I'm a fan of gothic literature, so I figured this was right up my alley.....hmmmm. Not so much. When it says the book is gruesome, that is definitely the truth. And trust me, the character's car crash and time in the burn ward is mild compared to what comes later in the book. Around the end of the book he goes into some weirdo Dantesque hallucination crap and it just ends up reading more like some crummy fantasy book. I did find it interesting that at the end, the author lists some of his favorite reading and includes some of my faves: Shadow of the Wind, The Thirteenth Tale, The Name of the Rose......unfortunately Davidson's novel is way too graphic to be considered in the same class with these other books. Just my opinion, though.
