This is the first Clive Barker novel I read.  I hated it.  It reads like it's a pure Hollywood story.  Also, the events in the story are so nonsensical, I couldn't help but continuously think, "This is stupid."

I love horror novels, but this isn't much of a horror novel.  I'll never read another Clive Barker book.

Added on 2007/03/24: I forgot to mention.  This book is huge.  686 pages.  At around 3 different points in the book, I thought, "Ok now it should end."  Yet it kept dragging on.  Bleah.

I can't recommend this book for anyone.  I guess diehard Barker fans would like it.
