The Demonologist by Andrew Pyper
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
i have always liked supernaturals, gargoyles, angels and fallen angels, biblical demons…hmm..quite ok, but not ghosts or menacing horror spirits. and of course, witches.
demonologist is a combination of classic literature and biblical facts and myth and especially, a lot of Milton’s Paradise Lost that i pretty much have a good idea what the classic is all about without having to read it!
what touched me most is the fatherly love that Ullman has for his daughter. i admire that and throughout the whole story, i was really praying that he will find his daughter at the end and so relieved he did. although i was hoping her emergence from her disappearance would be a bit more dramatic and impactful. and a bit more of explaination of where she had been when she was ‘lost’.
but this being the first of Andrew Pyper’s book i have read, it does make me interested to read his other novels. to the library here i come!
