Customer Reviews

What a book. Pity there are so little stars that I can give!
This book deserves a constellation not just 5 stars!!! There is very little I can say except that this book is SUPERB and utterly FANTASTIC. I haven't watched the film just yet but I intend to right after I read the book. From the first day, I read 3/4 of the book. The pages really do turn themselves. The vivid description makes you actually picture what Hell is like, what all the characters looks like and actually makes you want to search into the occult... Simply fabulous. A must read for all readers.

Hellblazingly Good
This book is awesome. If your worried it won't be as good as the film, don't be. It helped me get deeper into the mind of 'John Constantine' which made watching the film a fantastic experience. And the fact that the gorgeous Keanu Reeves is on the front cover is such a bonus! You won't regret buying this book if you like reading about hero's battling against the forces of darkness.
