Lucifer and Lacious Sean Vincent Lehosit 9780805972702 Books

I must be in the minority here. I actually enjoyed this book. It struck me as a cross between Dante's Inferno and Alice in Wonderland. In it, you are introduced to an eclectic cast of characters, both Biblical as well as historical, as you are taken on a journey through the Seven Circles of Hell.

While the writing may not be what most would call perfect, I found it to be an easy read. The ending was written in such a way that, while bringing to a close the current narrative, there is the possibility of a continuation of the storyline. In the end, I was left wanting more.

I will say, though, that, while I am not by any means squeamish or easily repulsed, there were a couple of rather graphic, sickening parts that could have been left out.

If you are looking for a fun story that you aren't going to nit pick to death - then I highly suggest you give this book a try.

Lucifer and Lacious Sean Vincent Lehosit 9780805972702 Books Reviews

Sean Vincent Lehosit's imagination is amazing, it's crazy how he gives hell such a detailed description. If hell is anything like Sean's imagination, I definitely would not want to end up, or should I say down there. This book is only 108 pages but it's full of strong words and contains graphic details.The story began by introducing a man, whose name is unknown so he goes by "Slave." He had no idea how he ended up in hell and I enjoyed going through the journey with him. His goal was to find out the truth behind the reason of him being in hell. When the truth was revealed, it all came together for me. It was one of those stories that made me smile in the end even though in the middle of it I would cringe at the pain "Slave" experienced. Different religious characters passed through "Slave's" journey, but Sean's twist on their agenda made me question stereotypes. Hell was filled with Lucifer [a.k.a. the devil], which was very interesting, demons, and even angels, hm who knew right? I really liked the story and was quickly engulfed in Sean's creative world of misery. I recommend it to those who like to think outside the box.
I'm really not sure how to review this book. It's incredibly descriptive with an interesting premise, yet also very graphic and violent. But I guess you have to be a little graphic and violent when describing demons and the seven pits of hell. It just seemed a little too raw for my tastes.

The main character is called Slave, as he does not remember his name or anything about his previous life. Lucifer seems to take a special interest in the fact he can't remember his name and carves strange numbers into Slave's forehead. Overall, Slave seemed a bit passive to me until he met Stranger, who pushed him into journeying deeper into hell. Despite decades toiling in hell and surviving punishment after punishment, Slave seemed to place his trust in Stranger awfully fast.

Stranger and Slave meet several different, interesting characters during their journey, but I kept wishing that Slave wasn't quite so trusting. Stranger seemed to have a plan, but wasn't entirely truthful in sharing it with Slave. And to be honest, I didn't really get the ending. I understood it, but didn't "get" it, if you know what I mean.

All in all, this was an interesting, quick read. I gave it a 3 out of 5 rating because I thought that while the story could have been a little more polished, the author has talent and imagination. Would be interested in reading other works by Lehosit, as he can write!
This reads like a rough draft at the best, both in writing technique and the plot itself. Lehosit is a stranger to most punctuation, uses run-on sentences in every paragraph, the same word multiple times in a sentence (i.e. something "suddenly happening suddenly"), and often uses the equivalent of "them was" or "I were," as if he can't keep plural and singular straight.

The plot isn't any better. At 108 pages, most chapters are only a page or two, yet the author tries to cram in as many different situations and characters as possible while rushing through the story. It's as if he arbitrarily decided to change what's going on with the characters based on whatever whim came to mind, regardless of whether or not it resulted in a coherent plot. I can hardly call these "plot twists" since in the end, they don't add up. The final resolution only works if you forget half of what was said and done (including why Slave died in the first place), and even then the conclusion is not fully explained. In light of this, the whole, "it doesn't make sense because it was a part of God's unfathomable plan" attitude at the end seems like a serious cop out, not a spiritual message.

The characters are so undeveloped that I found it impossible to care about them. Slave has the personality of a block of wood. Because of this, his amnesia struck me as annoying rather than intriguing. The "cameos" from evil historical characters seem trite and forced since most lend nothing to the plot, except for more irritation as Slave can't recognize even the most obvious ones, such as a German who introduces himself as Adolf and sports a swastika and square mustache. The only personality trait Slave displays is stupidity; confused about everything and never able to understand the simplest of things, yet somehow at the end, one vague statement allows him to figure out the entire climax on his own.

In his rush to get to the end of the book, Lehosit also gives very little description of hell or its inhabitants. In the beginning, Slave sees a "monstrous" shadow that strikes terror into him, but when Lacious is introduced as being the owner of the shadow, the only thing the author can tell us about him is that he has green hair and nails. The blurb on the back of the book offers more creative imagery than the rest of the novel. There's also very little consistency between his descriptions and the character's acts - one moment they're trudging across a desert of sand dunes, the next they're smearing each other with mud. And although we get very little visual description of the characters or their infernal surroundings, I can't tell you how many times I had to read about the sound of someone's feet "slapping" the ground, enough that I had to wonder if the author had some kind of obsession with the sound of slapping feet.

If you're looking for a good book with a well paced plot and a creative vision of hell, I recommend Edward Lee's "Infernal" series instead. Although if you thought that Lucifer and Lacious was "graphic," Lee's books might make you soil yourself.
