A review by christinebeswick
The Absolute Book by Elizabeth Knox

3.0

This is a complex and sometimes untidy assortment of genres and mythology. It’s a combination of thriller, fantasy, romance, and a fair bit more including crime, punishment and final redemption. As a result, it’s confusing at times, but it's also fascinating, imaginative and well researched. The listless, dreary Purgatory was brilliantly described and very depressing.

At more than 600 pages, this was quite a commitment, but overall, it was worth it - 3.5 stars.
