I've never read anything like this book. Bizarre is an understatement. There is no denying it is very well written. The back cover has quotes like " gorgeously surreal", "strange, passionate and enthralling", all which I agree with, but I did not find it "funny...full of delightful mayhem". It was absurd in a disturbing and non humorous way. I started this book 3 times before finally finishing it. I do recommend this book to those who relish the dark, surreal, disturbing or are looking for something original. But I won't be reading this author again.
