kurtwombat 's review for:

The Last Temptation by Neil Gaiman
3.25
dark mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Ultimately, this wasn’t as tempting as I wanted it to be. There are some fantastic visuals and a pretty good set up but it seemed a bit too reminiscent of Stephen King’s IT replacing Pennywise with Alice Cooper. Nice short cut guys. Unfortunately, also like IT, the ending seemed a little bit too simplistic (trying not to spoil either—loved IT by the way).  I wouldn’t seek this out but it was fine because I had it around—local library used book sale.
