The reading list moves glacially
I've been reading Coldheart Canyon over the past couple weeks and finally finished it yesterday. I am a slow and lazy reader with most books, and this one kind of dragged in parts. It wasn't bad - some of it was quite good actually, and it was nice to read something by Barker that wasn't another reimagining of the whole Imajica thing. In the early middle part of the book it goes way porno - Clive Barker sure likes to talk an awful lot about pussy for a gay man. The end was okay - it could have ended 2 sections early for me and been fine, but the book beyond that didn't kill my will to live and it still managed to tell a good tale. In all it was a worthy read, though I don't imagine I'll reread it as much as other Barker books.
