A review by hotrunes
And the Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave

2.0

I'm a big fan of Cave's music, but his first novel didn't really work for me. It felt very over-inflated and has delusions of grandeur which it doesn't live up to. On the whole it was an interesting enough story but a lot of the time it felt like it was trying too hard to deliver a message, lost by over-indulgent descriptions of nothing in particular.

As a Nick Cave fan, it was pleasing enough and falls into line with his music, but scratching beneath the surface it leaves a lot to be desired.
