A review by embereye
Butcher Bird by Richard Kadrey

4.0

Although I've read reviews saying that the characters in the story were just way too cool, I didn't really get that impression. More I got the impression that the two characters were just two very lost people just blindly fighting their way through as best they could in a totally insane situation. This has a lot of good bits in it, really hilariously funny lines and dialogue and some really cool bits and pieces. There are influences from a lot of sources, not least of which are Gaiman and Lovecraft. It's a fairly speedy and entertaining urban fantasy read. Not a change your life kind of book, but a good story pretty decently told. I'm looking forward to more stories from this guy.
