After reading all the 5-star reviews, I felt I had to give this book a try. What a disappointment! The writer seems utterly uninspired and untalented. The story drags on and on, getting nowhere. It is full of totally irelevant gimmicks like the 'daemons'. The central character is an utter twit, like all the other shallow characters. This is such mindless drivel, that I think I'm going to burn the book!
