Comment On Containing Books Hell's Half Acre (Phineas Poe #3)

Skip Penny Dreadful and go straight to this one.

Terrific. My personal favorite of the trilogy. It's sort of cute how Baer tries to cover up certain links from the previous books (i.e., the sly hint at Jude's allusion to Penny Dreadful's Game of Tongues when she tries it on Phineas). But anyway this book seemed like the most focused out of all three. There weren't so many fluctuations in plot for one thing. There was just one plot arc that took longer to develop, and allowed Phineas more of his own voice and interiority. I think what we enjoy

This is a pretty personal book for me, so this is more of a journal rant than a book review. So, there's really no reason for anyone to read this. I just finished the book and have a lot of thoughts on it. I first read HHA when it was released in 2004. Probably a bit before that, actually. I had a dark orange ARC, this mysterious and lovely thing. It's gone now, lost between the years and the states. I forgot about it until just now. I read an ebook this time round. How time marches on. I

Every sentence of this book was premeditated. Just how I like it. I can usually care less about what's going on if the language is beautiful. I don't like poems but I enjoy poetic writing. This book was an epic. The author is very well read, and he's slightly enamored with J.D. Salinger...he references him a lot. His work was hard to get into. The first chapter was shaky and seemed like it needed editing. But once I got past it, I was hooked. I love Jude. I didn't really enjoy book 2 of the

This is my second attempt to finish this book.Despite - or maybe because of its manic energy, this books reads at a fast clip. Not even a day and I'm already past the halfway mark, doggedly following the distracted (imagined?) misadventures of Kiss Me, Judas's ex-cop antihero protagonist Phineas Poe despite my internal clock's best efforts to start my nightly allotment of sweet, sweet sleep. Other readers accustomed to light, airy things might find the narrative of drugs, sex, violence appaling.

I enjoyed this book more than the others in this series. I do feel as if this was the second book in the series, and the Penny Dreadful book was kind of out in left field. You can see how his writing has evolved and it was much easier to follow the story line this time around. I really do feel as if the second book wasn't his favorite and he decided to get back on the track he was originally going with the Jude vs Poe vs insanity vs the bad guys vs internal desperation vs the world.

Better than Penny Dreadful but still not measuring up to Kiss Me, Judas, Hell's Half Acre is a solid installment in the Phineas Poe saga. Baer, as I said before, sets a mood and doesn't go where you want him to which amplifies the sense of discomfort his novels engender.
