Max Redford

I have never uttered these words, and they bother me. I could not finish this thing. I gave it a valiant effort (43%), but Number of Beast has an identity crisis.

The book was a mismatch of ideas and genres with no set direction. Number of Beast included everything, even the kitchen sink.

The authors, Redford and Stone, tries to hard to be vague in important instances while the entire book was vague. Why should I care about any of the characters?

In the opening of Chapter one, we encounter noticeable grammar errors that continue to mount. Nounless sentences, awkward sentence structures, improper punctuation (to the point I believe they are allergic to commas). Info dumps with no reason aside from the writers thought the reader was dumb, or the pair were unable to incorporate basic ideas into general plot lines.

I have read many of co-authored books, but there is a rampt mismatch of ideas in the last few I have read. Number of Beast would have benefited with more than just a copyright editor.… (altro)

Not for the faint of heart. This continuation of the Paladin Cycle is a read that you just can't put down. Max Redford's amazing spinning of words paints pictures that one might not want to envision, but you'd be hard pressed not to. Who can resist an apocalyptic tale of the turbulent fight of good and evil? If that's your thing, then this is a definite must read! So pull up a comfy chair, maybe pour a stiff drink, and get ready to read and visualize this amazing (sometimes grotesque) story. I know I can't wait fit the next installment.
