This book is the second best Chesterton I've read, The Napolean of Notting Hill being the best. Not only does this book thrill you, it also intriuges you. After setting down the book there is so much to think about. Most thrillers are just that: thrillers with no spine, no real meat. Most leave you wondering afterwards "Why did I waste my time on such a fantastic load of superficiality?" Not so this book! Every sentence pulls you farther into a nightmarish vision, a beautiful horror, a fearsome and wondrous truth.
