Here we go again. Yet another reboot of a popular movie series surgically removing the charm of the original actors and director. Guillermo Del Toro is a truly visionary director who turns monsters into romantically tragic figures, like a underworld Heathcliff or a mutated Rochester. To review, Hellboy was raised from the bowels of Hell toward the end of World War II by Nazi supporter Grigor Rasputin to turn the tide for the Axis. A squandron of Allied forces closed the portal before more "monsters" could come through, but Professor Broom, a paranormal investigator, adopted the baby Hellboy and raised him to protect the world from other forces of evil. Humans do not trust Hellboy since he was created by Evil and the supernatural beasts cannot trust him because fights for Good. Cast aside, Hellboy must prove himself as a immortal sorceress rebuilds her empire on Earth with Hellboy as the key.

The unique POV, the whole concept (0 more)

One of 'those' books that's completely transformative - WOW.
I think this book is astoundingly beautiful. The whole concept of writing from the POV of death was inspirational, and worked exceptionally well. It's a heartbreaking read, and I don't often say that about books. Even if you have no interest in reading about the war whatsoever, you'll still get something out of this. Trust me!
