review 1: Boudinot's panache carried me away, just as the latest black clouds and rambling thunder swept over the house. The storms departed with less than expected rain and I turned the final page. Reviewing one's progress is essential here. It struggles along the terrain of Sense of An Ending but with the last sentences being but another pomo contortion of the kaleidoscope. The leap between this and Blueprints of the Afterlife is far wider than even between The Bends and OK Computer. There is much to ponder in that progression.
review 2: boudinot! boudinot! gosh, that's fun to say... maybe that's why he name-drops himself in the middle of this book.it sounds like he is one of my people, so we will allow such behavior. so this book - imagine the highest three you could
... moreever imagine. that's what this is. i really liked it - it does everything a good book should do as far as originality and developing characters and creating atmosphere. but when it was over, i wanted more, a little. it was rrrrrr to me. because it is practically a novella (is there an official page count for a novella - is it fewer than a hundred?) it's definitely a one-day book, but i still wanted to be reading about them, and could not. so that could go either way - it could result in a three-star for not giving me enough book, or a four-store for intriguing me into wanting more. he'll never learn if i indulge him now. so - three stars it is!! less

I finished it, but it was so-so. The author is not as clever as he thinks.

Quite good. Funny and moving. Echoes of Franny and Zoey and TCITR

Good. Not amazing, but a quick read, and interesting characters.

Really funny, but also a little depressing. I liked it though.
