A funny little book that is a quick read for a fast reader. I read it during a day of airplane travel.
It did cause me to reflect upon my relationship with
my parents. I am a Mom. It would probably fit sons
& dads better. Good anyway.

Definitely not for the uninitiated science fiction reader.

This is a brisk and heart breaking tale. Charles Yu has a very unique voice and I think we will be hearing great things from him in the future.

Warning: If you do not like or understand the first 20 pages don't go any further. It only gets darker and more complex.

Now, if you are not intimidated and ready for a challenging, sometimes fun, often bleak, science fiction story, then this book is for you.
