Not really loving this. Being the sort of reader who is easily impressed, I was initially enamored with the book's gritty eschatology and protagonist Stark's hardass posturing. In my defense, this is a book with a heck of an opening, with our hero waking up in a burning dumpster after escaping from the bowels of hell. But the book cannot sustain this level of supernatural noir. The tough-guy thing is just pandering.
