Weird but interesting

I enjoyed this bizarre tale, which made me laugh out loud on several occasions and cringe an equal number of times. An inventive story presented in an interesting way.

a near-miss

This is a wildly inventive novel that achieves a sub-Pynchonian lunacy with its tale of grave-robbing, a machine that steal men's souls, and art, among other things. Though the many interweaving threads of its plotline make it a difficult read at first, things eventually pull together. The writing is very good, and the story very colorful, but somehow the parts don't quite add up to a satisfying whole, making one wonder if perhaps the author tried to accomplish too much in its 230 pages. Still, a very rewarding read for those willing to tough it out.
