Despite the dark nature of the book, Denton has suceeded in producing a character which, if not sympathetic, is at least compelling and understandable. The reader, while not approving of all of Blackburn's actions, gains a bit of insight into what might cause such a personality and see where one might end up but for small circumstantial changes. Overall, a strong tale from an excellent author. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
