I, Lucifer

Well, I got as far as p208, just after all the waffle about the two Germans, and decided enough was enough.

Nobody can say I didn't try. It was simply not an enjoyable novel.

I agree with what others have said about the short story and the padding. The story itself could have been told in a dozen pages if the padding were removed. That said, the padding is clearly included to give an insight into the character of Lucifer but to my mind it goes way over the top.

I may read the last couple of pages to see how it ends.

Marks out of 10?

Overall I'd give it 1.
