As always the story inevitably succumbs to the typical clichée issues as all series seem to do eventually. Something that distinguished this series from most others was that the contrary MC kept his contrariness at least somewhat believable. If he said no to a thing that usually actually meant no. MCs like that are very hard to write because it's very tricky to get your main character to follow the plot if he just doesn't respond to or blocks the incitive incidents. The author has apparently given up on this from this book onwards. There already were a few somewhat minor cases of unbelievable character decisions that contradicted previous convictions but especially at the end of this book as well as the very beginning of book 3.5 the author completely gave up trying to make any sense at all in this aspect. The author wants the plot to go a certain way even though it's completely against the MC's nature and this inevitably erodes character consistency and believability. Many aspects that were a bit corny but very entertaining in moderation went more and more overboard the further I got in the series. This book totally went over the top with the dry and shallow humor as well as the badass factor among other stuff. It's just too much of a good thing. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"Richard Kadrey is a genius." --Holly Black "Sandman Slim is my kind of hero." --Kim Harrison All hail Sandman Slim, author Richard Kadrey's ultra-extreme anti-hero and recent escapee from Lucifer's overheated Underworld playground. Legendary author William Gibson (Neuromancer) called Kadrey's first deliciously twisted Slim adventure "an addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece," and in number three, Aloha from Hell, the ruthless avenger, a.k.a. Stark, finds himself trapped in the middle of a war between Heaven and Hell. With God on vacation, the Devil nosing around in Paradise, and an insane serial killer doing serious damage on Earth, Stark/Slim is ready to unleash some more adrenaline-surging, edgy and violent supernatural mayhem--and even pay another visit to Hell if necessary--which is great news for fans of Jim Butcher, Warren Ellis, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, and Simon R. Green. No library descriptions found. |

I won't go plot of the 2nd or 3rd books. I'll just suggest that if you've found my taste to be like your own on Good reads; pick up a copy of the first book, 'Sandman Slim' by Richard Kadrey. If you like that one, you'll find that number 2 in the series, Kill the dead, is more good stuff, and it's looking like number 3 is right there with them.
Have fun! ( )
