The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven
Sep. 29th, 2007 12:19 amThe Blurb On The Back:
The creature had reared up in its true form, a frozen man-sized explosion of pink custard-like stuff. It wobbled and shook. Big bubbles formed and popped on its skin, belching out words.
"Fresh!" it burped. "Fresh meat! Fresh meat!"
"Whatever," said Jack - and sighed. Yep, he thought. Gang up on the new guy. In some ways, when it came down to it, Hell was really pretty predictable ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Enjoyable and fun but not perfect. It's most likely to appeal to teenage boys, given the emphasis on gore and the revolting, but Esme is a solid heroine in the kick-ass mode and Jack and Charlie have a believable friendship. I'm looking forward to reading more by Sam Enthoven.
