Helpful Score: 1

This is a gritty look at the world of forgotten gods, who must resort to lives as cab drivers and such, because they are not worshipped anymore. The down-on-his-luck protagonist stumbles into this world and finds himself a willing pawn in an endgame. It's an odd juxtaposition of modern real-world life and fantasy. To enjoy the book, you have to suspend disbelief to accept the fact that the lead character takes this all in stride, and just goes along with everything. A more realistic character would have struggled with doubts about his mental health or at least put up bit of a fight. That was my only problem with this book. I think that journey into fantasy could have been handled more effectively without losing the impact. But that's being extremely nitpicky. This will probably appeal more to those who are into dark comic/adventure books. Sort of a guy thing. My husband is loving the book. I knew he would.
