Started this several times and just could not muster the strength to continue past the first 100 pages or so. The premise is intriguing, and the multi-world universe is compelling. But the characters are utterly uninteresting, unappealing, unsympathetic, empty, and two-dimensional. It's perplexing that the author gets so much right, and yet can't complete the vision. I am dumbfounded that this novel is as popular as it is. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

From master storyteller Clive Barker comes an epic tale of myth, magic, and forbidden passion-complete with new illustrations and a new Appendix. Imajica is an epic beyond compare: vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution. At its heart lies the sensualist and master art forger, Gentle, whose life unravels when he encounters Judith Odell, whose power to influence the destinies of men is vaster than she knows, and Pie 'oh' pah, an alien assassin who comes from a hidden dimension. That dimension is one of five in the great system called Imajica. They are worlds that are utterly unlike our own, but are ruled, peopled, and haunted by species whose lives are intricately connected with ours. As Gentle, Judith, and Pie 'oh' pah travel the Imajica, they uncover a trail of crimes and intimate betrayals, leading them to a revelation so startling that it changes reality forever.

Altogether pretty satisfying, at the end of the day, but by its very nature this is not likely to appeal equally to all readers. ( )
