The Actionary: To Be or Not To Be? The epic conclusion to the brilliant To Hell and Back series – a trilogy that does for autism what Flowers for Algernon did for intellectual disabilityBeing a crime-fighting superhero with a demon sidekick is not as much fun as Chesney Arnstruther thought it would be. Nor is having his autism “healed” by the historical Jesus.To make things worse, he’s zeroing in on the metaphysical truths behind the notion that reality is a book constantly being rewritten by a deity exploring the nature of good and evil. Satan and the Messiah are holed up in Eden writing fresh chapters, and Chesney’s quest takes him to ancient Babylon and Rome, and into a deep-past encounter with a tribe of God-worshipping dinosaurs.It all leads Chesney toward a choice that no superhero should have to make…FILE UNDER: Fantasy [ The Better Book | Talk the Dinosaur | Scam Busters | Bring Me Barabbas! ]
First- DO NOT start with this novel. This is a series that really needs to be read from the beginning. If you do not do this, the resolutions might well look arbitrary, while in context they are not at all arbitrary.That being said- I was anxious to read it, having loved the previous 2 novels- the plots and the characters, and also the philosophical underpinnings... because OH YEAH there are philosophical underpinnings here!And while in general I dislike "deus ex machina" as a plot device... if the whole series has gods and demons and angels and all, then it just become part of the territory, and fair enough. I found it very enjoyable here.And- I also like the trope of "unintended consequences", and Hughes here does one of the best jobs of this I've read lately.It's a great series, and an excellent conclusion in this book!
