Devil Said Bang

Sandman Slim, Book 4

De: Richard Kadrey

Narrado por: MacLeod Andrews

What do you do after you’ve escaped Hell, gone back, uncovered the true nature of God, and then managed to become the new Lucifer?

Well, if you’re James Stark, you have to figure out how to run Hell while also trying to get back out of it... again. Plus there’s the small matter of surviving. Because everyone in Heaven, Hell, and in between wants to be the fastest gun in the universe, and the best way to do so is to take down Lucifer, a.k.a. James Stark.

And it’s not like being in L.A. is any better — a serial-killer ghost is running wild and Stark’s angelic alter ego is hiding among the lost days of time with a secret cabal who can rewrite reality. Starting to care for people and life again is a real bitch for a stone-cold killer.

How to get rid of a job you don't want.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, excellent performance and the story is a notch up, in my opinion, from the previous book. We now also seem to have a clean slate, which will make it interesting to see where Sandman Slim goes next.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Devil Said Bang?

I think the overall idea on what Lucifer actually does in Hell.

Which scene was your favorite?

None in particular. The book is pretty fast moving and as such many things become a bit of a blur.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No.

Any additional comments?

Yes, great fun if you don't mind very graphic description of violence.

Decent audiobook

Good book, but I only really enjoyed it when he was stuck in hell. Once he left it started getting confusing.

Amazing

What made the experience of listening to Devil Said Bang the most enjoyable?

The fourth installment of the sandman slim series punches you in the gut and doesn't apologize

Which character – as performed by MacLeod Andrews – was your favorite?

All! He is an amazing narrator

MacLeod Andress is the Sandman

What made the experience of listening to Devil Said Bang the most enjoyable?

I love that the same voice has told me the story of Jim Stark from the beginning. And I have a little Crush on Stark.

What other book might you compare Devil Said Bang to and why?

The Laundry series by Charles Stross is similar. It is James Bond meets The Deep Old Ones. Bob a geekier version of Jim. They both fight the good fight against Big Bad.

Which character – as performed by MacLeod Andrews – was your favorite?

Always, always, always Stark.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Back out of Hell

Lot of backstory and plot line

Since the last book pretty much wrapped up things on that storyline, this one seems to be following up things and slowly creating a new one. Takes a few hours to get to anything happening. It’s ok. Hoping the next one has more of the get to the point type action.
