The Dirty Streets of Heaven by Tad Williams

4.0

This rating is reflective of how entertained I was while reading this book in the midst of travels and a busy work schedule. It was just snarky, fast-paced, and unique enough to hang on to my attention and keep me engaged in the beautiful escapism that reading this type of story provides for me. That being said, the more I engage my higher-level thinking/critique, the more I pause and think "well...I might have some problems with that, actually." So for the light and fluffy, entertainment seekers, I would recommend this book, because I did find it quite enjoyable. From a more critical standpoint, I do have some reservations. I'll stick with the 4 star rating, though.

(Sidenote: The reviews I've read about the sequel are so dismal that though I was entertained enough to feel intrigued to continue onward with the story arch, I have, at this point, been successfully deterred from actually picking up book two).
