Book review

Interesting how an idea of a book's writing method draws you to buy this book, even if you know that it's too expensive for you to buy at this time of the month, ok, I'll just spit it out, I read too much, to the point that I've gotten to consider myself a book collector, freaky, huh??

This book I'm talking about is an interesting first person short-story, by a writer I think I'll start looking for from now on.

The idea is very simple, this book is haunted, in it's pages is a demon, who was imprisoned there, the entity contained within the book begs the reader to just burn the book and put him out of his misery.

So far, I'm enjoying the idea, but the story this demon leads you through, his own journals sounds too childish, well, maybe it'll improve with time.

Not sure whether I'm allowed to disclose the book name along with my opinion on it for copyright purposes, so I'll let you try guessing which book it is.

Actually, no, it was "Mister B Gone", I liked the idea, but the context was somewhat disappointing.

I forgot to mention, the author is Clive Barker
