OK, NOBODY had written a review before this, so I HAD to give that as a subject.The picture for the front actually had me intimidated a bit so I didn't read it immediately.When I did read it, I really enjoyed it.First, if you avoid soft to hard core sex scenes skip this, but that is just one of the (enjoyable)features, not it's focus.The concept is fairly simple, imagine Satin or the Devil as a fallen angel who is living as the wandering Jew instead of a eternal opposer of god.Not as someone reigning in hell plotting gods overthrow, but as a soul cursed to live until the end of days immortal without dieing.He can not die, so his actions do not have the consequences of normal humans. He can not have children.He does not look like normal humans. Instead he has legs and feet like a satyr so he is discriminated and feared by humans.He has some power, but not much more than to kill men and bend minds around him a bit.He lives forever but forgets most of it not absolutely crucial to his heart beyond the past 50 or so years because his mind is not really beyond a normal humans.A immortal, who does what most of us would with that much power(kills those he feels are evil around him), but feels regret for the consequences at times.There, I think I've given all the background details about the conflict that drives this book without giving too many details(spoilers) which is my normal goal.(there is nothing worse than too detailed a review, but I might have gone too overboard this time).So, how would you feel if the devil wasn't really evil, but just doing his time(all of mans time at least) for a crime of opposing god(if that is correct, because he can't remember that far back, and neither can anyone else)?
