  This book is very unique! A fantasy, deeply grounded by life realities.
  
  The old saying ‘Don’t judge the book by its cover!’ is the very essence of the main character –
  the protagonist of the novel – who is the ‘Devil’. He is on the loose during the Yuletide Season for a mission! I thought the Devil would do the cliché evil things! However, in this tale, expect the unexpected!
  
  Sometimes, I laughed, smiled, and was in tinkering mode while reading the chapters and snippets of the book. There are familiar characters employed by the author that surely would amuse any reader. Truly, the author is a huge fan of Dante Alighieri’s ‘The Inferno’.
  
  The book touches on the issues, concerns, and circumstances of the many facets of social ills as expressed by the snippets of the book such as poverty; homelessness; unemployment; criminality; and domestic and individual problems such as family misunderstanding; individual depression, transgression, addiction, and hopelessness.
  
  However, each snippet of the book, also shows a heart of compassion, and kindness, how to be just, the act of retribution, and the faith of holding on to the light and the goodness within an individual which are potent enough to flicker change.
  
  The author’s narratives are interlaced with mystery and in such a conversational manner making them interesting and easy to digest.
  
  The book ends in such a light-hearted course. Thank you, author Paul Stanton! Indeed, this book is very relevant and a pleasurable read at any given time!

  This is the kind of book you are sorry to finish as it is a delight to read. I found it entertaining, imaginative, and thought-provoking throughout.
  Apart from the intricate, page-turning storyline, there are also many fascinating insights into past and present London. You constantly want to find out more! I would highly recommend this book!

  I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Festive Juxtaposition. It is an imaginative, intriguing and often comical page turner, following the ulterior motive of the protagonist, The Devil, throughout his visit to London. The story is both expressive and exciting, and I hope there will be many more like this published by Paul in the future! Undoubtedly worth a read.

  A Walk with the Devil ! And what an intriguing and exciting experience it is to be led on this journey by the authors’ skilled storytelling. This page turner keeps you guessing and fascinated by the revelations that unfold with every page that you eagerly turn ! A thoroughly enjoyable tale that is a true must read.

  I loved this book! The author writes about a part of London I know well and his descriptions were spot on. I knew exactly where he meant and could picture each new place perfectly. The whole idea of the devil being philanthropic on Christmas Eve is genius and, although of course one shouldn’t, I rather liked him! I was truly sorry when I finished the story and can only hope there’s another devil book coming along soon.
