• I’m very pleased that I went back and read this book again. I realize now that there was much in it that I didn’t understand the first time. Some had to do with the archaic and somewhat verbose language that Elwood used. Some may have been a little too intense for me at the time. At any rate, in this book, Elwood was writing as if he was a demon. The demon he wrote about, Observer was every bit a demon as Satan or any other demon. Observer thought that he wasn’t as bad as the others. Throughout the book, he chronicles with disgust all the acts his master made him do. He realizes later that he’s just as bad as all the others. In this book, Elwood really seems angry at those not in line with his Biblical view. Some of it was a little hard to read. I think that it may have to do with the political correct society we live in. Sometimes I found myself wondering if what he was saying was the character he was writing as or his own feelings. We’ll see in later books.
