Wow, this book book fucking ruled. I was really surprised by it, I was just expecting this 20 baht old paperback to get me through a couple of days of boring free time, but it was really really good. Every single scene in hell, and every scene on earth with demons, and most of the other scenes, were really well-written, just funny enough to let the reader know the author isn't taking himself too seriously, but no real attempts at humor, which usually destroys genre writing in my opinion. Over-wrought in the best way possible, gory, bizarre, creative; I've got not a single bad word to say about it.
