The most fun book I've read in quite a while. The book has serious things to say about evolution, ecology, and humanity-- but those messages never get in the way of this zippy, witty adventure, with a real hero you cheer for. My full review is here.

“Maybe everyone in the world was this inconsistent, this fragments. All we could see of each other -- all we could see of ourselves -- was a ragged person-shaped outline, a game of connect-the-dots without enough dots.”
Daryl Gregory, Pandemonium

“If this is what it's like to be human, he thought, no wonder the world is so fucked up.”
Daryl Gregory, The Devil's Alphabet

“Divine essence?' I said. 'Hey, I'm Fat Boy, I'll possess a guy and make him eat ten pounds of chocolate in one sitting! Yeah, that's divine, that's fucking deep, that's like ...' I couldn't think what that was like. It was like something, though.”
Daryl Gregory, Pandemonium

message 2: by Daryl

Daryl Ah! Got it. You're a better man than I. Maybe I could hire my kids to type in all my books.


Joshua Palmatier Nope, not on a mystery kick. I'm adding books by picking an author and then adding all the books I own by that author to the "shelves" here at Goodreads. Thought of Janet Evanovich, so added all of hers and all of Sue Grafton's.
