Helpful Score: 8

The older I get the more I want my Disney "and they all lived happily ever after" ending. Well, this isn't that. In fact, as much as you'd like to sympathize with the main character, from whose point of view the whole book is written, you can't get over the feel that he is steeped in evil. Afflicted with the Devil (or would we call him schizophrenic these days). The book is set in England in the 1600s and it is fun to figure out what the vernacular is then. The author does a great job of drawing you into the story and no sooner than you think this isn't the book for you then you realize you're hooked. I will not shy away from other novel's written by this author.
