Absolute Zero Cool by Declan Burke

3.0

I liked some things about this book a lot, but it was a bit slow going for the first 80% or so. The prose is fine but there is a lot of what feels like literary wanking, even though it is kind of lampshaded. The end was good though. Can't really compare it to much else -- maybe King's The Dark Half? Some of the same themes, certainly. But King's book is more of a straightforward horror/thriller and I think his characters are better drawn.
