Customer Reviews

For intelligent readers everywhere

This is one of the best books I've read, period. From the first compelling lines, the reader is not only into but truly inside the story. Hutzulak's prose is spare but somehow more than three dimensional. We not only see but hear and feel and smell and taste what happens. We find ourselves caring for and rooting for a protagonist who, by most objective measures, would be quite unlikable. And the story's central, surreal mystery keeps us guessing and (like our protagonist) slightly off balance till it finds its resolution.The novel is not for those who like their stories framed by "Once upon and time" and "happily ever after." It's a trip - in every sense of the word. Beautiful. Disturbing. Thought provoking. Unpredictable. Human. Haunting. Highly recommended for intelligent readers everywhere. It's more than just a read. It's an experience that (trust me!) you'll be thinking about and reliving for years to come.
