I liked the relationships Ben developed along the way, though I was sorry that so many submitted to Barlow. I liked the ending, knowing that there are always going to be (fictionally, anyway) people who take up the mantle to wage war against evil on my behalf.
That said, I wish evil hadn't been personified by an Eastern European. Felt like a metaphor for the chaos brought on by xenophobia (i.e., "They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats." - if you haven't heard this one, Google this quote and it should be self-evident.)
