★☆☆☆☆
Great story, intolerable affected writing style
Here's a sample of his writing style: "The moon, shining down upon the city, shone down also upon Jack, shone down upon the body of Jack, that was lying strewn in an alleyway. The moon didn't care too much about Jack. But then, the moon didn't care too much about anything. Caring wasn't in the moon's remit. The moon was just the moon, and on nights when there wasn't any cloud about, it just shone down, upon anything and everything really, it didn't matter what to the moon. The moon had seen most things before, and would surely see them again. And as for all the things that the moon hadn't seen, well, it would see them too eventually. On nights when there wasn't any cloud about. Not that it would care too much when it did. It was a moon thing, not caring. The moon couldn't help the way it was." So, if you like this style enough to read 340 pages of it, go for it. If you are looking for a Douglas Adams clone, you'll be deeply disappointed. This book is in serious need of an editor and I believe the author got paid for this by the word because there was page after page of this kind of annoying and irrelevant pontificating that I found intolerable by about page 50. It's rare for me to give up on a book.
