Reviews For The Owl
Exhilarating! A pure action high unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The Owl is a cross between Batman and The Terminator ... but he’s even more deadly and relentless
It starts off over the top and builds from there. There’s action aplenty. The Owl absorbs more punishment than any two or three or four people in other novels
