殺手 #7
殺手，迴光返照的命運
如果有上帝，祂肯定不是站在我這邊。
真正的罪孽，從我記憶消失後才要開始。
真正重要的東西一定不會失去，
會失去的，就一定不是真正重要的。
於是。
我將某一個自己留在那個房間裡。
我走了，卻也沒有離開。
在動詞的世界裡，殺手是一個沒有未來式的職業。
但我不僅沒有未來式，我連過去式都搞丟了，
只剩下見鬼了的現在進行式。
－－於是，我盡量不讓我的雙槍停下來。

3.5 stars. As always the author of this Hitman series is a talented guy and he has a good sense of humor going for him.
Enters Hitman Firefish, a hired killer who has no memory of his own past and who can create dead bodies as soon as he enters a scene. We follow him through different countries: Thailand, South Korea and then Taiwan. Sometime he wants to search for his lost past, the other time he seems to be running from it, and for more often than not he's lazying around and does nothing more than...well...shooting people up with his double guns.
At first I like Hitman Firefish, although he isn't the 'happy-go-lucky-batshit-crazy-bastard' like Hitman Mr. NeverDie or the 'ordinary boy who just happens to kill people for a living' Hitman Lok from the previous book, still Firefish has a humorous voice and the backstory about his past are interesting enough.
However, by the middle of the story, Hitman Firefish goes out of control and starts killing his targets without any care (e.g. he kills a whole family while making the parents watch their kids died, tortures a guy slowly before finishing him off) then I started to dislike him. Yet the ending part of the book redeems the whole story so it gains a 3.5 stars out of me instead of just 2 stars. Good job, Mister author!
