Nocturnal Book Reviews

I'll tell you straight away that I liked this book. It was an easy and light read, perfect for a summer afternoon. But because I liked it I wanted this book to live up to its potential.

The characters, the plot, the dialogues very very interesting. But Figg, oh, Figg was hilarious! Snarky, slightly bizarre flighty daughter of a mechanic habitually driving monstrously big car and carrying guns... She intrigued me to no end with her sudden insights into potentially dangerous situations and a great passion for shoes.
Lian on the other hand was an attractive nerdy scatterbrained scientist, who didn't quite knew what he was doing through the whole book. Strangely, symbiosis between him and Figg worked very well.

Now the drawback. There was not enough depth and background information to the characters to transform this book from good to great. Sometimes it made me very frustrated. I really really hope the situation will be remedied in the following books, because I was left with too many questions.

Otherwise, this was read as some sort of bizarre Alan Ball series - light, nerdy, absurdly gory with death count increasing by the hour, but undeniably funny.
