Daniel Andrlik reviewed Horns: A Novel by Joe Hill
Review of 'Horns' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I enjoyed this book, and read it in two sessions. If you go along for the (admittedly disturbing) ride, you'll have a good time. After reading, it's got some flaws that bother me, though. U found this far more even and enjoyable than Heart Shaped Box, though it does meander a bit. There are several unanswered questions in the book, some of them integral to the story, and I'm not comfortable with the way women are handled in the story. There are a few annoying plot holes as well, which normally would have put a book down to three stars.
On the other hand, it's a fast-paced and fun read. Even if I do typically grown at traditional representations of the Devil in fiction, I'm was willing to give this book a pass because it was fun. Which is also why it rates the fourth star from me, because 'fun' counts.
