review 1: When I saw reviews of this describing the main character as an 'antihero', I thought it would be the usual guy who's rough around the edges, had a run of bad luck, but you can sympathize with him. Nope. Blake is a truly reprehensible character, but then so is everyone in Mangel. In fact, what with the mysterious references to how people can't leave Mangel, I wonder if the author means it to represent Hell. Entertaining overall, but I don't think I could stick with the character for a whole series.
review 2: Once I was able to figure out the way the book was written, ( it is written in British English) and figure out the slang terms I flew right through Deadfolk. The plot was very well written and very well thought out. I enjoyed the characters and the way they
... moreevolved. Blake was always at war with himself the way he saw himself and the way he actually was. I enjoyed that through out the book we were given glimpses of the characters past, and what made them the way they were. It wasn't all dumped on us at once, so as the story evolved you were able to put together the characters. You were able to believe that they could be real people. I am looking forward to reading the next one in the series. less

Brutal stuff, this, but weirdly entertaining. A bit like an accident you just can't help staring at.

I couldn't even finish this, the lingo and characters were obnoxious to my brain.

An interesting, and at time amusing, insight into the mind of a violent thug.

Darkly humorous neo-noir with an extremely unreliable narrator.

Brutal. Nuts. Quite different.
