The story was very good. I'm still figuring out my feelings (you know, the whole do/don't want to believe a 'crazyass who plays with knives for the hell' of it kinda person is John) but the writing was very intriguing and kept me into it. EvilJohn is great, especially since he has the "aw shucks, ma'am" attitude half the time, and the layers being peeled back was great.
