Advantages: Stunning, Barker on top form, Will not be able to put it down

Disadvantages: Slightly slow to start

Clive Barker does it again in this superb sequel to the equally fantastic Great and Secret Show.

This time the strory is set around the city of Everville where a series of bizarre and interesting characters continue a quest for the art (the greatest power known to mankind) and the dream-seas of Quiddity a mystical place that a person visits three times in their life, once when they are born, once when they fall in love and once when they die.

The plot is unbelievable making you wonder where the hell Barker gets these mind bending ideas from. There is a wide variety of excellent characters ranging from the bizzare to the sick and twisted. A favourite of mine is Tesla Bombeck a fiery woman who knows the secrets of Quiddity who has an evolutionary advanced monkey called Raul living inside her head! FANTASTIC!

Once I was shortly into the first chapter I could not put this down, Barker had me hooked right until the very end. Existing fans of Barker will definitely not be disappointed as fans of this genre. Give it a go you have nothing to lose and a huge world of unrivalled fantasy to gain.
