Review: Very Well Constructed, Very Entertaining

Definitely dealing with an anti-hero in this novella, and a very entertaining one at that. I don't normally go in for first-person narratives, I think they are very hard to pull off convincingly and, most of all, the main characters are usually not compelling enough to keep me caring enough. This character was definitely funny and interesting enough - especially the matter-of-fact way he reports on his new environs and how he came to be there.Yet what I like the most is that I definitely had no idea what would happen next in the story and whatever did come to pass made so much narrative sense that I found myself really appreciating the story-telling skill of this author. Hats off to Ben Stevens on this one!
