I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan
2.0
I didn't dislike it, but for something that I was told (admittedly a couple of years ago) that I really ought to read, it didn't actually grab me.
Even though it's not that old, it felt a little dated in its depictions, and to be honest it felt like most of the time Duncan was trying too hard to be shocking and disgusting, to the point where it fell flat (or possibly I'm just cynical).
Technically, it's not a bad piece of work. It's vivid in description (possibly too vivid in places) and Duncan obviously knows how to tell a story, I just wasn't all that bothered to finish it.
