The Scarlet Gospels

There were good moments in this, but it didn't feel very original. And the blood and guts were just a bit over the top so that by the end I found my self saying "of course it did!" In response to the latest outlandish event. I love John Lee usually, but his voices were barely distinguishable and I couldn't figure out if the characters were Yiddish or just New Yorkers, or occasionally Yiddish-creole hybrids. It was just the wrong voice.

This review is only for readers of Barker's fiction, sporatic or constant. It left me with a feeling of 'not to be continued'. I had a feeling that Clive is leaving us with a summary of a part of one adventure he started us on. That being said, I will look forward to other final destinations this amazing, mind expanding, desperately sad, truly gifted author has in store for his readers. On narration - Excellent
