This book is creative… maybe a little too creative for my tastes. It was so out there for the first half of the book that it just didn't click with me. I liked the protagonist enough, even if I didn't really understand him or his ways. The book was well written enough. I'm a fan of Dirgo's other books, so that wasn't the problem. And by the very end of the book I'll admit to liking things a lot more. I think that if the first part of the book had been written more like the last 15%, I would have enjoyed the entire book more. That said, if the book's description sounds like something you would enjoy, give it a shot. It's creative as all getout. That will likely resonate with most folks more than it did with me.
Not like Craig's other books, this is a story of a mystic crime fighter. I did enjoy the story and parts of it were very engaging and extreamly entertaining. Too bad the book suffered from plot and story line mistakes along with some interactive dialog that came across like a high school play.
