miker says: "The problem with the book is that there was
almost nothing admirable or entertaining about Adam Blessing,
and that is damning. Even the most wicked of protagonists
have something entertaining about them, Lou Ford the sheer
violence of his insanity, Stanton Carlisle his ability to
turn human weakness into cash, and Hannibal Lecter his
ability to choose the correct wine for even the most unusual
food."
Yeah, but have they had a rock group named after them? I
admit I never heard a recording by The Damnation of Adam
Blessing, but the band got some good reviews back in the
Olden Days.
