  At some point during my second year of University, I was in a state that can only be described as 'severe procrastinisation.’ I had already checked the social network sites that I am a member of several times and had just logged into IMDB. After chec ... (read full critics)

  somehow it appears to me as if the story's been curtailed, and thus unfinished...

  Sincerely, I didn’t expect this book to be like this... I haven’t read anything else by mr duncan, so I can’t really get a whole picture of his style end plots, but I can say this book is unpredictable and as you go on, it really menages to get you into the storytelling.

  Well of course he does, but not so he can be redeemed but so he can have some fun. Mainly sex, drugs and the movie-business.

  The prose is absolutley wonderful, in a way a sort of stream of consciousness but also a collection of stories abut different times in history. I loved the way everything seemed so much "more" when Lucifer experienced it, like that Kavanagh poem Advent: How if we are denied something then we appreciate it all the more.
