I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this book until Sneaker entered the picture. At that point things really picked up.
I liked how hell was divided up into zones like area codes for a phone exchange and that they were all vastly different from each other. Which zone you ended up in depended on what your sin and resulting punishment was.
Quite a different take on hell, but at the same time, reminiscent of Dante's 9 Circles of Hell.
I was interested enough by the end of the book to read the next in the series.

I liked this story. Interesting, original premise, interesting characters, and an interesting interpretation of Hell. I never felt that it dragged, nor did I ever feel a moment of "Oh, come now!" I'm going to have to read the next one, not because it's any kind of a cliff-hanger ending, but because I'm interested in the story. And I have no higher praise for a book than that.
