This isn't a review as much as a colelction of the excerpts which have stuck with me since reading. More valuable criticism about why this book is good or "important" can be found elsewhere.

A crit from Reddit:

The wrath of God lies sleeping. It was hid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it. Hell aint half full. Hear me. Ye carry war of a madman’s making onto a foreign land. Ye’ll wake more than the dogs.

The Judge is one of the most imposing mfs in any book I've read. Along with Amalfitano,

He never sleeps, the Judge... He says he will never die
