review 1: I don't know how it's possible. But this was both very interesting and kinda boring to read. Things got so nonsensical that I kind of stopped caring, but I also wanted to know what happened. Of course, in the end, it turns out I didn't care too much. If you're into strangeness for strangeness' sake, then you'll like this book. Otherwise, it might interest you in some parts and bore you in others. I couldn't tell what the author was going for, except maybe to make a more cracked-out coming of age story than Alice In Wonderland.
review 2: This fictional work deals with the United States and a post-apocalyptic period, however it also deals with the successor to the United States, a patchwork of states that are a blend of the modern and the past in one. Although
... more the author never actually outlines what causes the change in the world it appears to be a leak of influences of the past into the modern age. The overall story though focuses on the trials of a nuclear family in this age - although at points the book seems to drag overall an excellent read, especially the second half. less

Post-apocalyptic kind of story. Ending seemed rushed, lots of St. Paul references. Mostly liked it.

I believe this is the strangest book I have ever read. I wouldn't even know how to describe it!
