5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't Harman always this good? Something to consider., 27 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Andrew Harman is what must be likened as an author with an uncanny knack. He can be likened to Robert Rankin. Both write superbly--most of the time. But after a while the glaze in one's eye deteriorates and the jokes and the characters aren't so utterly intriguing. Not so, however, with "101 Damnations" which is the equivalent of Rankin's "Apocalypso"; that is, both novels are masterworks, or reasonably close to masterworks besides, and "101 Damnations" provides one with, as John Morressey once said of Craig Shaw Gardner, "733% of daily needed lunacy." But Harman is far superior to Morressey and Gardner in comic fantasy, and the spinning of the tale of "Damnations" is marvelous to admire. Harman interjects puns (some of the ingratiatingly worst, and yet funniest, eg. Sir Taindeth = Certain death), frothy and fast characters--some as good or better as James Bibby's--and an outrageously logical plot, despite it being insane. Although certainly not a Pratchett or a Douglas Adams, Andrew Harman has fallen into his element here. Cheiro Mancini is a wickedly likeable antagonist, and the Losa Lamas thaumaturgists make the novel roar with fire...er, Virtual Ecological Technology Fire at least, um... The Prime Evil and the Dead Sea Scroles (two puns more, eh?) are brilliant as monstrous and devious demons. But let's not forget the Damnations to which the novel is written of, hmm? They may not be as cute as dalmations, but in running all over Rhyngil and Cranachan and over Mortropolis, they give "101 Damnations" something a little bit special.
