A review by hstapp
Descent Into Hell by Charles Williams

5.0

This is a really good book, I have been disappointed with the last few Charles Williams boos I have read, but this one is right in that area that made me a fan. This book is a suspense filled ride through the alternate dimension contained within all humanity. I enjoy the book immensely, but it does have it's problems. Our first character is not a part of the main story, he is tangential. He is important, but tangential. This can throw us off, especially when he brings him back, and we are trying to figure out who he is. Is it him? Is it Wentworth? It looks like it says he is here, but no here it clearly says it isn't Wentworth. We eventually figure it out. These elements confuse us, but this is not by accident. We are meant to be confused Williams wants us to be confused, it adds to the suspense. I have one more novel to read, but this is probably Williams' best work. I still prefer Place of the Lion, but this is the second, Many Dimensions following. It is creative, suspenseful and highly interesting. Definitely a suggested read.
