5.0 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed it from beginning to end.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gorgon Child (Mass Market Paperback)
It was a book that I could not put down after hours of reading the description kept me in the story with the characters, Icould almost invision being there. I read the book when it first came out and to this day it stays in my mind as one of the more compelling books I ever read. Although I can not say much for "Streetleathel" since I have never read it. It was not until just now that I knew that "Gorgon Child" was a sequal.

Very good book, a few flaws.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gorgon Child (Mass Market Paperback)
See my review for Streetlethal. The same review could apply here, except the ending of this book really did not seem believable. I think the main characters got a little overly lucky considering the situation they were in when the book ended

Anti Hero,
By
This review is from: Gorgon Child (Mass Market Paperback)
Aubry Knight is without a doubt the best anti hero I've ever read. This was my introduction to Steven Barnes and so I didn't realize that the rest of the series wasn't as well crafted. (since reading this I've found other great books by Barnes but none of the of the others stand up to Gorgon's Child.) In the days pre XXX and Fight Club. Gorgon's Child showed how to be a man, and how being a man could make a hero out of the most unlikely subject.
