Secret Histories

review 1: Mainly due to the Nightside series, I keep expecting more from this series. But it's just alright. Big, over the top fights. Eddie "having to" do unsavory things for the "greater good" and feeling badly, but not that badly about it. Molly trying to be his conscience, even as she has no problem doing half the things she has problems with him doing. Lots of people who "deserve to be dead". There are some funny moments, some good wit, sometimes some interesting elements. But there's still something odd about an anti-hero who sees himself as closer to the hero than the anti part. (As, I think, does his creator Green.)
review 2: I've read the Simon R. Green books for what they are - cheesy ways to pass the time on a plane or on vacation. This one really shows how la... morezy he got over time and how mediocre he's always been. He repeatedly uses phrases he obviously thinks are clever, and his superhero Drood hero isn't all that interesting since he never really has anything at stake. Probably won't be partaking of this particular kind of cheese ever again. less
