The first time I read it, I thought it must be the work of a madman. Exquisitely well written, but mad. The second time, I thought it must be written by a genius. The third time I thought that I was beginning to understand how life (and death) may work. The fourth time I thought this guy's right about everything, and it scared the hell outta me. I MUST OWN THIS BOOK!
