Boooo. I was told this would be scary.

This book, while perfectly fine as a retelling of Judeo-Christian creation mythology, is entertaining, if not compelling. The circuitous route by which the reader is taken to meet all the players is bland. I kept going with the promise of horror and was met instead with some gore. I almost DNF'd so many times, but it was recommended in a list of scary books by a number of people, so I persisted. Arriving at the end with gratitude, I'm off to find something that lives up to its reputation.
