Eine durchweg gelungene und auch sympathische Ich-Erzähler Perspektive. Sehr angenehm zu lesen und hier und da mit etwas Humor gewürzt. Die Storyline ist sehr interessant und man ist gespannt was als nächstes passiert. Für geschulte Krimileser vielleicht gegen drittes Drittel etwas vorhersehbar. Auf alle Fälle empfehlenswert.
A great mixture between a private investigator story (think Raymond Chandler) and a horror novel. Unfortunately I read it after watching the movie (which is also great, but different in some aspects), which is almost always a bad idea since it replaces the pictures in your mind with those of the movie. Of course the ending is not unexpected - there are so many clues in the book. But that does not really matter, as the tension comes from on the cat-and-mouse game between Louis Cyphre and Harry Angel, the other mysterious characters and their role in the story and the setting itself, a dark and sinister version of New York in the 50s. A good read for fans of both genres.
