Product Description:
Hidden from mortal eyes are the angels and demons that coexist with mankind...supernatural beings who seek to influence our lives for better and for worse. Amoral and irreverent renegade occultist and paranormal detective John Constantine is blessed and cursed with the ability to interact with this secret world. When Constantine teams up with skeptical L.A. policewoman Angela Dodson to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister, their investigation catapults them into a catastrophic series of otherworldly events -- even as the forces of Hell conspire against Constantine to claim his immortal soul....

John Shirley obviously knows John Constantine better than anyone who made the movie this book is based on. Anyone who likes this book should read Shirley's original Hellblazer novels - Warlord and Subterranean. Why DC comics hasn't hired John Shirley to write comics is a mystery.

I got this book not knowing who John Shirly was and expecting this to be a quick read or one of those bad film novelizations. I was pleasantly surprised on the depth Shirley brought into the storyline. He showed me how low Constantine was with his sickness, his sarcastic attitude towards his friends and foes. Like most of his writing, Shirley does an acceptable job.
This is a great novel for film novelization readers or comic movie freaks.
PARTY ON, DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were several good scenes, but they didn't make up for the rest of the book. Not worth reading.

I am about halfway through this book since I picked it up today. This is a great read, the pages turn themselves. The movie itself was a bit mediocre but the novelization really takes a so-so story and makes it really good. John Shirley is an engaging and thoughtful writer. Hell is not such a nice place and not since Dante has it been envisioned in a way that is unsettling, gruesome and harrowing. Constantine's trip through Hell is a nail biter.
I was a big fan of the Hellblazer Series when it debuted and the book is a worthy addition to that series.
