It has come to my attention that I never added this to my Goodreads -- which is crazy! because I love it. Bizarre, sweet, and completely credible in its weird way -- that is, it makes talking angels and post-apocalyptic medical procedures feel completely natural -- this is a book that stands out among those I've read the last few years. (That's kind of an understatement, actually...)
