Negative Positive
Title: *yawn*
Review: Michael Reaves just tries too hard. The premise of the book and the first chapter certainly intrigued me, but the rest of the book is just poorly executed. The plot's okay, but always left me with a sense of "Why?". Although multi-character story lines can be very rewarding, here they are just convoluted and muddy the waters. The (merciful) ending of the book was such a amaturish let-down I, truly, drove straight to Good-Will and dropped my copy of the book into the donation bin. If you want books on a very similar theme (I'm sure Reaves was attempting a knock-off), please try the novels of Neil Gaiman. Gaiman is a brilliant writter who pulls off multi-arc biblically-obsessed stories without effort. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from Hell on Earth as humanly possible.
