Mister B. Gone

By: Clive Barker

Mister B. Gone is the tale of Jakabok Botch, and his travels from the ninth circle to Germany, spanning over a hundred years.

Plot: After passing out in a fire when he was a child, Jakabok Botch is an ugly, burned demon.  While running away from his father, Pappy G., he stumbles into a trap that takes him from the ninth circle, all the way to the top or our circle.

Meeting up with a pure bred demon named Quintoon, he travels for a hundred years wreaking havoc on the world, where eventually he ends up in Germany at the discovery of the printing press.  Little does he realize, the printing press pushes Heaven & Hell to the brink of war.....

Review:  This book is written in the first person narrative, like Jakabok is actually trapped in the book itself.  It was a very interesting idea, to begin with, but the simple fact that the story itself was not that interesting, is why the book only warrants two stars.  One thing that Jakabok had right for sure was the fact that all readers should just listen to him right at the beginning, take his first line into consideration, and  just burn the book.
