Well........ I thought it was her most novel idea since Memnoch.

The whole concept of Goblin and his origin, while telegraphed
throughout the novel, is quite novel, as is her method of making you
forget what you have already figured out.

Of course, I live fairly close to the locales of the book and enjoyed
reading about places I've passed many times.

It was a fun book and a good setup for Blood Canticle which I look
forward to reading.

The only bad thing I have to say about it is in regards to the
indecision of Quinn being gay or not. The whole question of his sexual
identity was handled clumbsily and was the only time I can recall Rice
fumbleing similar subject matter.
