Title: Mysterious Stranger
Product review: I would only recommend this book, if you're willing to a long, short story, but other than that it's not too bad. After all, it does have some really intriguing themes. A few boys are living happy sheltered lives in a remote Austrian village named Eseldorf, and one day, a handsome young man named Satan appears, and does several magical feats. Satan begins to share his ability to foresee the future to inform the group of unfortunate events that will soon befall those they care about. Satan proceeds to inform them of each new tragedy that will befall their friends. The boys beg Satan to intercede, which he does but always from a cynical, technical definition of mercy.The point of view might be slightly skewed, because it is narrated by one of the boys in a first-person narrative. The story isn't too bad but, its extremely long.
