Oh come ON.

Ugh. Reeeaaally?

Really? That's it?

Peculiar book. I do want to find out what happens, and I know I'll end up ordering the other two books from the library, but somehowl it's leaving me cold.

I'm reminded of an old This Modern World. In the final panel Biff scowls at Sparky and says, "you're making one of your little points, aren't you?" The author is making one of his or her little points. I'm just not 100% sure what it is yet.

You know, it's not badly written. I enjoy it while I'm reading & there are delightful, clever moments sprinkled throughout. But I kind of have to force myself to pick it up and keep reading each time I put it down. I do want to see where the author is going with all this. It's just...I dunno.

Not bad so far, with a few delightfully brilliant phrases scattered throughout. Definitely a novel for spring-and-cog fetishists.
