This book is very surrealistic.  It requires an ability to put aside the “normal” view of the world and accept the world of the book to fully grasp the concepts and ideas of the book.  It would drive my husband crazy, but I enjoyed it for the most part.  At times I was lost and confused, but those were rare.

The plot was so intense, dark, and gritty with hints of humor, romance and a fabulous subplot to boot.  The characters were unique yet very believable and realistic.  The characters evolve from “normal” to superhero and try to do the right thing.  It was interesting to watch the dynamics unfold.

While not my usual fare, this book was definitely worth reading.  I enjoyed the author taking on issues not generally dealt with in literature.  I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
