Customer Reviews

Whoa... whoa

When I first picked up this book I really had second thoughts about reading it. It really is a "different" book but it was great, possibly the best book I have ever read. The creative story line is not typical so it is very interesting. I remember can't waiting to finish it. The sense of humor was what I related to most, because I think practically the same way. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants something new from your typical dumb tra la la la la were all better junk. So READ IT.

A great, strange book.

When I read this book I couldn't put it down. It is confusing at first, but it is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. I really recommend this book if you enjoy bizzare books.
