| The last story was terrific. Which is saying something, since it's pretty much of a piece with the rest of the book, which gets overheated and repetitive fast. | |

| I'd rather read Pynchon that I don't understand than most stuff that I do. But this one pushes it... | |

| A noble effort, and nicely done, but altogether too much of it. | |

“There's nothing else in this world the color of a school bus. They call it yellow but it's not quite yellow, and it's not orange either. I'd say it's something somewhere in between margarine and Velveeta. It's not a natural color. Then again I guess if we wanted kids to grow up natural we wouldn't put them on a school bus in the first place.”
