I really didn't know what to expect going into it, but this book is incredible. Oddly enough, I found the 'finale' lacking, but the rest of the book was so damn good, I didn't really care.
I've read it, as well as his other books. It had a good feel to it on reading it, a good blending of mythology into the background of daily life.
