Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Gates (Samuel Johnson, #1) in Books

Jan 15, 2018

Oh my gosh! I loved this book! I bought it on a whim based on a reccomendation & boy am I glad I took the chance. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor & I laughed through the entire book! I dont think I've ever been able to.do.that with an entire book before. I can't wait to rrad the next book.
I love the main character, Samuel. I teach & could see parts of plenty of my students in him. Believeable charactersvalways make a book so much better. Nurd is also hilarious...strange think to say about a demon from the Wasteland of Hell but it is true none the less.

Wow! Just wow! This time around I know exactly what rating to give this dark but perplexing read. I am truly enjoying the fact that I am still completely clueless as to the true nature of Six. Is Six an angel? A demon? The figment of Corbin's fragmented mind? The author once again reeled me in right from the start with her beautifully dark writing style. The characters are all stunning and unique and I simply cannot wait for the next book in the series as this cliff hanger ending was more intense than the last. It is indeed a pleasure to spend time in the mind of Nikki Rae.

It's been a very long time since I have seen this and it is certainly not comparable to Eddie Murphy's 80's classics (Beverly Hills Cop/Coming To America etc.). It's not particularly funny and the plot is a rather odd mix of far eastern mysticism and Murphy wisecracks with some very surreal moments (the dancing Pepsi can /demon Charles Dance). For me it's a bit of a mess and overall doesn't really work. It's not boring though and keeps you relatively entertained even if just to see what weird shit is going to happen next but it's definitely at the lower end of the scale of Eddie Murphy movies.
