Summary: Chaotic randomness and disturbing heroes
Review: This novel's plot unfolds as a series of chaotic randomness, leaving you unable to predict what the characters are ultimately trying to accomplish or what climax the book is heading to. You will either appreciate the lack of direction or wonder if the author really cares.The characters betray their own moral values on such a large number of occasions, the term anti-hero does not sufficiently describe them. Showing no remorse for a dead wife and slaughtering a village of innocents do not count as heroic acts in my opinion. This novel appears to follow the lives of villains rather than heroes, with no true heroes encountered during the story. I would not reccomend this book for younger readers due to the lack of a message regarding good versus evil deeds, since it often treats them one and the same. Odd inventions of the author such as mountains that walk, dissolve in water and can commit suicide leave much to be desired among the many strange plot turns. (I wrote an earlier review for this book after reading the first 100 pages, which I would call a 'gut reaction'.)
