A medieval devil speaks directly to the reader, his tone murderous one moment, seductive the next, in a memoir allegedly penned in the year 1438. The demon has embedded himself in the very words of this tale of terror, turning the book itself into a dangerous object, laced with menace only too ready to break free and exert its power.

Review of 'Mister B. Gone' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Not much to add than what others are commenting.

The book has interesting ideas but the abuse of the breaking of the forth wall and the constants "burn this book" made the "novel" approach just an overused crotch.

The story has its highlights, small nevertheless, but some highlights at least.

The book will entertain you if you are looking for a light read; bud definitely do not expect a mind blowing experience. Done think Clive is offering anything extraordinary and at times reads repetitive, slow and just filled with "big words" to make the story seem more interesting and involved than what it is.
