I received this book free to read and reviewI like a story which has a good plot, good descriptions, characters I can visualise and an easy read. This one was a far from easy read. The main character Sebastian Furst, of the title, is shot in the head right at the beginning of the story and dies, well sort of. Confused well I was, I found it difficult to follow the plot as it seemed to go from dead to alive and sometimes not sure. The description of characters was good but I had trouble relating to any of them probably because the plot was not an easy one to follow. There were twists and turns as Sebastian searches for answers and on the way gets involved with a mystery girl, a religious (I think) cult and a policeman who stole Sebastian's wife at the end it is almost explained. Although I like fantasy type books it was difficult to put this in a category and as it was not an easy read it was too much effort for me.
