    <body><![CDATA[For the most part, I enjoyed this book.  I did get a little annoyed in the first half, when everyone ran around scared of John Taylor simply because he was John Taylor (and he did nothing to deserve the reputation, the opposite in fact, in what was actually happening in this book) but the second hal...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65915842">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[John Taylor can find anything, which he does for a living in the Nightside - a part of London which is between Heaven and Hell.  He is hired by Jude, a priest, to find the Unholy Grail, something which he finds everyone else - including angels from Heaven and Hell want.  Interesting concept, but was...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39317671">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think of Simon R. Green as the sci-fi equal of mystery writers James Crumley and Charlie Huston.  Am not a Stephen King fan, but have read a few of his books.  My opinion, Green's 'Nightside' series is more enjoyable.  In this second of the series, John Taylor is hired by an agent of The Vatican t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32481348">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Like Simon Green lot, but this wasn't a favorite tale. I seem to prefeer his later books on this Nightside series, which are a little more cynical, as if the characters actually progress into cynicism from the drudgery of their fantastical lives.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Well written and entertaining. I like the world of the Nightside, and the main character has definite potential. It wasn't what I would call suspenseful, but at the same time if left you wanting to know more about the characters and their history. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another fun and quick read.  Simon kept with the genre of an old time dime-store detective novel.  Characters come and go quickly in this book.  I'm surprised how fast the plot developed and finished.  It almost felt like a short story.  I will definitely keep reading this series...even though I hav...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43756977">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great Nightside story. Short, sweet, fun, full of action and gripping. I even love the ending with Jude and the bits about Judas Iscariot. Yes, I do think it makes sense what is said about Jesus and Judas and I like it. I am loving this series and having tons of fun with it!
