His dying grandfather prophesies five dark days in his grandson's life - five dates on which Jimmy will face terror and violence, malice and perversion. A storm rages. There is a chilling significance in the old man's words. The moment his grandfather dies, Jimmy emerges squalling into the world, destined to struggle against an evil so dark and pervasive, only the most extraordinary of human spirits can shine through.

Jeg håber inderligt det bliver årets dårligste læseoplevelse, for ellers har jeg ingen forklaring på mit fremtidige mentale helbred.
Profetien er kedelig med et forudsigeligt plot. Den er ucharmerende med fejlagtig humor, der skriger til himlen. Den er sine steder sexistisk på en “gentleman agtig måde”. Den er ganske enkelt et fremragende eksemplar på, hvorfor nogle forfattere skal nære sig for at udgive alt - specielt når de ikke længere har noget på hjertet.
Hvordan jeg hev mig igennem er uforståeligt (dumt). Spring den over!
