(Review written with three chapters up, subject to change).

After a foreword that is a slight extension of the above blurb, you are dropped straight into the action. Well, more like smacked in the face by it.

There’s no introduction to the world or character – we have no idea why this poor bastard is getting the proverbial snot beaten out of him. That, in itself, makes it difficult to root for our protagonist – not knowing if he deserves this punishment or not.

Then, after a protracted fight scene where very little is revealed – aside from a few seemingly innocuous statements (such as a very strange reference to Jesus) – the chapter, and that particular story ends, and another begins.

It’s a solid first-person perspective, but the dissociative nature of the work makes it hard to stay interested.
