"Since it's always easier to list all the stones in the shoe than dress the praise in words, I will start with what drove me to great deal of annoyance."
Golly, I wish he'd liked it better. :(
He does have some nice things to say though:
"What Lawson did in his first novel was to show us a very harsh world environment torn in wars. However, he is not the typical one trick pony. What he does with his main character is traveling around the areas unrevealed in book one and presenting an even darker aspect of his universe, which is full with grotesque details and interesting concepts that are downright creepy, if not nauseating at times."
Oooh... My writing can be nauseating! Mmmn... I like that!
"What I positively loved about the novel was the underlying theme of the traveling man, the holy pilgrimage and reevaluation of faith."
