turbo-opera. blood, guts, swords, demons, honor, betrayal. read some negative reviews, meh. it does go on for too long, but the book is mostly what it had to be: highlander and dragonball and pro wrestling
saw the movie first, looked up the book. the movie had a tight storyline, the book meanders more, you get to savor the prose, the textures of the hardboiled setting, but some digressions get hard to justify
