A Satan Carol was a very different read to say the least.  Typically I would not choose to read a book with a religious undertone, but I have to say that I did enjoy the book.  Kessler did a great job of throwing out several different stories with many different characters, each spread over a huge span of time, but then tying them all together showing the characters all working towards one purpose, which is the quest of Mr. Green (who is Satan himself) to get the Golden Soul to his son.  I love that none of the characters were left as a loose end, each had a purpose in the story.The book has a lot of gruesome scenes.  It starts off with death, moves on to animal cruelty, and then continues throughout the book with a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, while still allowing each person to practice free will, as it was God's gift to the human race.  All in all I would definitely recommend this book.  It was a great read and really made me think.
