knightzach's review against another edition
The plot was somewhat interesting, but I could not ignore that extreme abundance of anti-Christian imagery and themes. The book seems to appeal to the lowest base instincts of fallen man--plenty of senseless gore, sex, and "religious weirdos" tropes. The grit and crudeness could be excused if it was done so in a higher narrative purpose, but it didn't deliver. After finishing half of the book, it simply wasn't worth it to finish.
