This wasn't a bad book, but I didn't think it was that great.One thing I didn't like about Damon is that the story never seems to answer questions. I mean, sure, okay, some books can pull of the whole open-ended technique really well. I didn't think this was one of them.For example, I started the story thinking that Damon was perhaps an incarnation of the devil- the similarity between the names Damian and Damon, made me think maybe there was a connection there. That, and the fact that he wears people's faces.But as the story progresses, you realize he's just an obsessive psychopath hooked on cocaine (I guess?) and there's no hint of the paranormal anywhere else in the story. But if that's the case, how is he wearing people's faces and getting away with it?If you're not worried about knowing all the answers, and like to have things unexplained, then this is good.I can say in its defense, however, that it was well-written and did manage to creep me out a bit. Maybe I shouldn't have read it right before bed...
