This is the 2nd time I've read STREGA, first time being several years ago.I don't believe I would want to live in his world, but I do have a morbid fascination with it. I don't think I would want to have characters like Mama, Michelle, Mole, Prof, and Burke himself in my world. Heck, I wouldn't even want a dog like Pansy. Yet, I love visiting them in these novels.Nor do I believe I would honestly want to know Flood or Strega, much less have intimate encounters with them, and yet I find myself dreaming of them.The plot has Burke again on the track of a child pornographer and even on the 2nd living, I lived and breathed for the final encounter. This is a world of sleaze, but it also is a deep insight into the world we are a part of.Read this, do read this, but only if you are prepared to stomach a few hours in this world.
