Well, it didn't suck and was entertaining but for some reason I kept being reminded of Dresden. Got some major anti-hero stuff going on here and the anti-hero is damn lucky that his friends stick with him. The story does seem to drag a bit at the beginning. Definately a build up for more books (a...
I'm not sure if I should be giving it 3 or 4 stars. I did enjoy the book a lot, but I have a feeling it is the weakest one in the series, as most first books are. This book is straight up Urban Fantasy, not a drop of Paranormal Romance in there. This doesn't bug me at all, as I'm as much of a fan of...
Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey is urban fantasy with a decidedly noir detective flavor to it. James Stark awakes in the middle of a cemetery out of sorts. Can't blame him. He just returned to our world after spending eleven years in Hell. Not as a deceased person, but as a living, breathing human, s...
This was one of the many, many books that I’ve picked up from a recommendation on Boing Boing. For the most part, this is a good thing. Without those recommendations, I wouldn’t have read The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl or Rainbows End, and while I wouldn’t have missed them for not knowing ab...

By novel's end, I was enthralled, after a bumpy start, so the rating is more an average, and I'll definitely return to this series.The book opens with yet another alienated smart-ass protagonist seeking revenge while fending off complications from various, equally-corrupt systems. Kadrey welds this...
Having recently exited Hell, Strand is rather peeved at those who had sent him there for eleven years, and is eager for revenge. He has a fondness for stealing cars and making mayhem. Los Angeles comes in for some laugh-out-loud funny noir treatment. Kadrey has created a world not unlike Kim Harris...
Dang! I started reading this yesterday and ended up not being able to put it down! This is the kind of book I love when I am lopoking for some e scapism....action-packed, with a different angle.
