Wonderful, exciting magical realism. I was in for a ride, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
It isn't for everyone, but as I enjoyed Anansi's boys, and American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and most books by Svend Åge Madsen this book was right up my ally.
But of a slow start, but once it got going I had a hard time putting it down!

A tough read!
The language is slow, the story is gruesome and filled with violence and the story is without true excitement. With all that being said, it was a very interesting read!
It's well written, however the linguistic choices lend it a very slow pace and I was never truly ‘excited' or ‘glued to my seat' waiting for another thrill.
With all that being said, it's a good book with an interesting story to tell about mans abilities, desires and actions when there is no moral or ethical compass to guide them, except their own greed and lust.
