Title: Remember Biloxi Blues???
Review: Do you remember the movie Biloxi Blues, starring Matthew Broderick and christopher Walken? This book was exactly the same in terms of a story that takes off in flying colors then completely deflates. It GRABBED my imagination immediately! Within the first few chapters it genuinely tweaked my curiosity hook, line and sinker. I was mesmerized; great suspense. Did I mention this was within the first few chapters? Yeah. The rest of the book went flat and cheesy, especially when voodoo magic came into play. I probably could have lived with that, had the main character not become an instant master himself, saving the day with his own pure self-sacrifice of blood. Sigh. What a weak, unimaginative ending. Wasted potential.
