This one wasn't as bad (for me) as the others in this series but it was still saturated in references I didn't get and it was really kind of depressing. I read a synopsis of the entire 3 part series and still didn't really understand much of what was going on. This series is EXTREMELY different from the original graphic novel so it's important that you don't go into it thinking that it's going to be a pulpy action adventure novel. This is dark and deals with the stretching of the human soul "forced" to endure immortality.

I liked the anti-christ part a lot but the rest of it was kind of boring. The conclusion of the prose story was amazing (as were the previous installments) but as with the graphic novel I would suggest reading all of these books within close proximity to each other. Otherwise you spend half the time referencing the older books (if you have them) or catching up on the plot.
