Mister B. Gone, by Clive Barker

Mister B. Gone, by Clive BarkerWell, this was a curiously written book for sure.  I had never read a book in which the protagonist speaks to the reader as if he were alive in the pages of the book itself.  An original approach for sure.

Now, the protagonist in this book is a demon, so you can see how right away we get past the physical impossibility of such a thing as a person in a book actually being alive.

The book is not bad, but it does drag on at times, especially when the demon keeps asking you to burn the book and him within it over and over and over again.

Doug Bradley, the performed, does a very good job however, and the book isn’t very long, so it’s not so bad.

Grade: 6
