This was my introduction to his work and it will always be my favorite of his. Back before he actually wrote his autobiography, he said this was the closest he will ever come to writing one. In the book he is a mongle with a twin sister. Together they are brilliant and apart they are below average. It takes place in the future, when gravity is light or heavy depending on the day and the main character ends up running for President, changing peoples middle names so everyone will be "Lonesome no more!" and leading a crippled country in the midst of the outbreak of "The Green Death" (which turns out is little Chinese men who had become so small that they became airborne and people where breathing them into their lungs. HA!) Oh So good. Hi Ho. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/293909?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
