Ok, it was a good book, sequel of one of my favorites of the moment. This rating reflects my own (dis)taste, as the book opens with the hero (view spoiler)[stoned, drunk, and fucking two girls (none of them the heroine) with one of his musicians. I'm usually not squeamish with sex scenes, on the contrary, but this one disgusted me. (hide spoiler)] 
 After this brutal introduction (bad pun intended), I found myself deeply prejudiced against the hero, and didn't find him many redeeming qualities until almost the end of the story. Usually, I would have stopped before that ending. But the novel was fun, inventive, scary and well documented. All and all it deserved better that a fucked up hero, but I can't say he was out of character (tormented rock star and all). 
 I also had a little problem with the paranormal. As much as I liked the "Shining" atmosphere and all the classical horror references, I found the plot a bit flimsy and the ending rushed. 
 It's still worth reading: I would recommend it for a stormy night, under the covers with a flashlight, preferably when you're home alone ;)
