This is one of those books where you spend a large portion of it waiting for something to happen and then when something does happen, you have to go back and read it to make sure you've read it properly. It is a little slow to get going, but once it does get going then parts of it are quite interesting. In many ways, the exploration of Christianity is a little too in depth, but that is just my own opinion. I would have liked to know more about Edmund other than just he liked to get nasty and eventually went mad.

Also, the narrative jumps around quite a bit so I was never quite sure who was going to be narrating it next, although I suppose you could argue that that actually helps with the unsettling feel of the narrative.
