Funk Rating 10 out of 10
Crais rocks. I love Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, and this is just one fabulous book. Will it change your life like Ayn Rand? Heck no, this is pure page-turning, plot-twisting, fabulous-character type NYT bestselling fiction. This is simply a great way to spend a few hours enjoying a great storyteller.
I suppose you have to like Cole & Pike to begin with, and I suspect you have to be in a bit of a mood to suspend disbelief around some of the stereotypes. But the writing is quick and clever, I can't help but laugh out loud at some of the cleverness, and the storyline is pretty original (although the characters are classic stereotypes, which is what makes it fun).
Definitely worth a pickup at your local paperback bookstore...
