Bad Men by John Connolly

5.0

There is so much to say about Bad Men. This book sat at the bottom of my checkout pile for ever. I dont know why I did not pick it up right away. Once I did I couldnt put it down. Before begining the story I read a handful of reviews, a recent habit of mine. Most reviews were not pleased with the book but gave it a solid 3 or 4. Odd. Bad Men is a solid five on my list. Not a single complaint. There were a ton of characters so it did take a minute to register each and their back story. I personally loved the abundance of characters and ghosts. For me, the ghosts were just a bonus. The way John Connolly swapped back and forth between stories frequently kept my interest and desire to turn the pages faster. The writing was perfection. Not a bad thing to say. Everything someone disliked (not referencing to avoid spoilers) in a review I found to be part of the island charm.
