" Really I'd give this 3.5 stars. I thought the book was quite profound while I was reading it, but after finishing it and having time to digest it, I realize it wasn't as great as I thought it was. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's really go...more

added a quote:
"Did you ever want to set someone's head on fire, just to see what it looked like? Did you ever stand in the street and think to yourself, I could make that nun go blind just by giving her a kiss? Did you ever lay out plans for stitching babies and stray cats into a Perfect New Human? Did you ever stand naked surrounded by people who want your gleaming sperm, squirting frankincense, soma and testosterone from every pore? If so, then you're the bastard who stole my drugs Friday night. And I'll find you. Oh, yes." — Warren Ellis | |
