Carter beats the devil - Glen Davis Gold
Apr 18, 2006 @ 23:30
The strange cover put me off for a long time but this is one of the funniest and at the same time quirkiest I've read in a while. The book recounts the life of Charles Carter - a magician in the 1920s. Very original and merits a place on a summer reading list.

I actually bought it because of its cover...(-:
I found the 1st half exactly as you said, and couldn't put it down. But at some point, around half time, I felt the book lost a bit of its sharpness and focus. I stopped it half way.
may give it a 2nd shot now, after your review.

i avoided it for a while because of the cover :)
Its worth picking up again, its a long book which takes off like a rocket. I suppose you could accuse it of losing some pace in the middle but thats mainly because the author is trying to put all his (many) characters in place for the grand finale.
Definitely worth seeing it through or you'll miss out.
