Part 2 of a fantasy superhero series that I read for the Endeavour. Basically a smart but limited young man wins a deal near the devil that lets him do superhero crime fighting. And meet a historical Jesus and go to the Garden of Eden. It was interesting but I can't say I enjoyed it.

A bit of a slow start but it picked up as it went along. I was expecting more superhero action, but there was very little--which ultimately was fine by me--as the plot steered In a much more theological and interesting direction (I could feel the moment my mental tally clicked this book over from three to four stars). If you enjoyed the first, there's a good chance you'll enjoy the second--just not if you demand superhero derring-do throughout.

(Note: 5 stars = rare and amazing, 4 = quite good book, 3 = a decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. There are a lot of 4s and 3s in the world!)

The sequel to The Damned Busters delivers a much more meta story which I really enjoyed. If you liked following the adventures of Chensey and his crime fighting demon in the first book, you'll enjoy this one too.
