Basically, this book is a walkthrough of the popular Gabriel Knight video game for PC from Sierra. It's about a young man from New Orleans who discovers a dark secret about his family history. No matter how many times I've read it, I still enjoy seeing Gabe through the next chapter and wonder what he'll do and say next. I strongly recommend playing the game first, if you read the book first then play the game, the whole gaming experience could be wasted. I don't recall any specific details that conflict with game. Everything in the book is pretty much exactly like in the game. I love Gabriel. He's fun loving, funny and deep down, he's a sensitive and caring guy. Damn. I wish he were real. I can't believe I have the hots for a video game character, hehe. This book is a joy to read, especially on a rainy day or if you're bored silly.
