2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the ending?, July 12 2004

By

Haldo (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Axis Mundi Sum (Paperback)

I was very disappointed with this book. Although I liked the characters, and enjoyed many of the situations they were put into (the reason it gets two stars from me), I was quite put off by the writer's clumsy and toothless gimmick of injecting himself - a godlike being, the author - as a character in his own book. Bo-ring! And the ending? There is no ending! Auuugh! Perhaps this is the first book in a trilogy? If not, it's even worse. Don't waste your money. Buy anything from Dan Brown, instead.

Best book ever! I would recommend this book to everyone. The quick wit and dark humor mixed with adventure and conspiracies will keep you from putting this book down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Madcap!, Jan 20 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Axis Mundi Sum (Paperback)

If your sense of humour tends to run to the anti-social, or at least weird, this is a book worth reading. It moves pretty quickly and smoothly, so you barely notice that the novel is almost 500 pages long, and the characters, while all over the place (in more ways than one), range from amusing to downright absurd. Not that that's an insult, since I got the impression this book is supposed to be absurd, and not in a highbrow sense.

All in all, if you enjoy manic writing and plenty of strange characters and plots, you should do what Joe Bob Briggs used to recommend on Monstervision: "check it out."

4.0 out of 5 stars an entertaining first novel
I have completely enjoyed reading this book. The prose crackles with the sly, sometimes arrogant wit of the author, and the plot (well, I use that term loosely) is engaging and... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars I feel dirty and wholesome at the same time
This is probably one of the most interesting books I've read in a long time. It's got the same drug addled absurdity that Robert Anton Wilson is so skilled at creating. Read more
