I'm afraid to recommend this book with words. For one thing, I cannot do it justice. If I could, I'd be writing novels myself, not chintzy reviews on Amazon. I also fear that this book will only appeal to a small portion of the population and that for most of those in the residuum, I disserve them by encouraging them to read it when they simply will not enjoy it. Unfortunately, reaching only those who share the proper... outlook?... disposition?..., is a difficult task.
This book is great in much the same way that Being John Malcovich was great. It's a challenging book, but it is playful. It is often tangential, but ultimately well constructed. If you were shocked at how truly outstanding Being John Malcovich, then I feel completely confident in recommending this book to you. If you weren't shocked, or you never saw the film, read another review.
