Customer Reviews

Dreamlike in two senses ...

The way this novel is written, it's as if one is being led through a series of dream-sequences. Which isn't to say it's not wonderful - in fact, I dream about being able to write as well as this - but it does make for a little confusing reading. It's well worth it, though. There's real beauty and hurt here, and it's well worth the money.
