review 1: The voice of the narrator immediately drew me into this book. He's a man down on his luck and he captures the essence of his life perfectly. For a while the story didn't matter as I was happy to just get to know the main character.The story gets going quickly and while the setup is a little improbable it does its job. The overall story was fine, although predictable. The main character carries it well though and while I knew what was coming the writing was such that I still wanted to actually read what would occur.There's some minor issues with the pacing. In particular in the middle the story drags for a bit, although it does recover. The biggest issue for me were the secondary characters - in particular the villains. The two main bad-guys are cardboard cutout bad guys. T... morehey filled their roles, but lacked depth.Despite these issues the book is a good read. The quality of the writing and the perspective of the main character are enough to smooth out the flaws. Worth a read if you're a fan of body horror.
review 2: The premise of this book corcerns two main characters who are brought together by basically the same goals - to help their respective children. Michael fox is living on the streets and has lost the will to live. His only surviving child has turned her back on him and he believes that she would be better off with his life insurance money. But just as Mike is ready to end it all, a brilliant billionaire surgeon makes him an offer he cannot refuse. He needs Mikes right arm along with the limbs of other desperate men in order to help his paraplegic son. In return Mike will receive two million dollars. But losing one arm is only the beginning and soon Mike is trapped in the clutches of a deranged madman.I absolutely loved reading this book. It is wonderfully written and the shock factors just keep coming. Told in the first person, follow Mike as he journeys into a world of unimaginable horrors.A bonus short story at the end is well worth a read and is relevant to the main story. less
