Excellent book - By: Tom, 23 Dec 2008
A literary novel with real humanity, this is a gem of a book. The demons don't feature as greatly as the blurb implies - this isn't a book just for genre fans at alll, it's well-written & full of warmth so anyone who likes quality should enjoy it. Or anyone who needs a good London pub recommended.
Superb - By: D. A. Harris, 20 Nov 2008
This is an odd book, but very satisfying, page-turney thought provoking.

William Heaney (the "author") runs a youth charity, props up a shelter for the homeless with the proceeds of his book forging racket & hobnobs with junior Ministers. And he drinks - quite a lot.

And he can see demons. How this came to be, & what it means, is graduallly teased out as the narrative weaves between William now & student William, with a dash of the experiences of a Gulf War veteran. It's alll blended very skilfully - whoever the "real" William is they can tell a cracking story.

(Oh - & the book's probably worth the price just as a guide to historic London pubs.)





DIFFERENT, BUT VERY ENJOYABLE - By: J. R. Daniell, 25 Oct 2008
I was curious when I first heard about this. And now I am glad I have read it.
Book description is above so won't go into too much detail. I think it is a very well written book that will appeal to alot of different people. There is a bit of the occult, a bit of romance, demons (interesting creatures!), family relationships, engaging & funny at times, the list goes on. It is very well put together & will not only get you thinking but will give you a great story as well.
It is definitely 'different' than the usual fiction I read, & a book I would recommend everyone should read.
