Review # 1 was written on 2007-06-20 00:00:00 Alan Mcculloch I've seen a few reviews compare this to a comic book, to which I can only say, you don't "get it". That's fine, there is nothing wrong with that, but my belief is that those who loved Deathstalker, don't necessarily get Green's other work. Green's mastery is as a wordsmith. His genius is in the use of character. It's a bit incorrect to say a Norse god gets modern and becomes a Private Detective, it's a lot more accurate to say that a guy who can't find his place in the world (And who also happens to be the great to the 13th or so power removed in lineage from the Norse Gods) finally finds a nitch that works for him. That's what makes Green readable, you can always find something to identify with in his characters. The human condition is prevalent and strong in Green's writing and that is what links you to his characters. Whether that's Jimmy Thunder or his superlative Hawk and Fisher, they all have something that tugs at you. They all have something with which you can draw a parallel. And along the way you get the best banter in the business short of Brust. I wholeheartedly recommend Drinking Midnight Wine to pretty much everyone. Keep an open mind, relax, enjoy.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-01 00:00:00 Steven White If your a fan of Simon R. Green's, Tales of the Nightside series, then you will enjoy this book. It has Angels and gods, hero's and villian's with death in all it's most unpleasant forms lurking around every corner. ( sound familiar ) He even mentions the Walking Man a number of times. Its was a good read
