BookLender review by Sandy on 2008-05-01 20:30:02

Fascinating book that makes you see things in a very different light from the norm. Definitely not your average, predictable, do-gooder novel. If you don't mind a little avant garde material, try this one! I loved it!

I read all the time and have listened to about 100 audio books. This is the first one I have returned after the first CD. Unless you enjoy pulling the legs off insects, you will not like this book.
