#54. Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey

Title:

Sandman Slim

Author:

Richard Kadrey

Genre:

Supernatural/Thriller

Synopsis:

A magician sent to Hell during a ritual claws his way back to Earth for revenge.

Verdict:

Fast-paced, fun and crazy. Seems quicker than normal but it works for Kadrey. He crams description in with action and just keeps it flipping along. Of all the things that could have bothered me in this book – descriptions of demons, sadistic rituals and fights – the thing that kept me shaking my head was the constant and almost persecutory demise of every piece of clothing the main character put on. Vengeance is tough on the old wardrobe.
