Bought this book because of the opening lines...
"Be warned. This book has no literary merit whatsoever. It is a lurid piece of nonsense, convoluted, implausible, peopled by unconvincing characters, written in drearily pedestrian prose, frequently ridiculous and wilfully bizarre. Needless to say, I doubt you'll believe a word of it."
The Washington Post calls it "Strange, outrageous and wonderful." Hope that turns out to be true.

"Strange, outrageous and wonderful" doesn't even begin to describe this book. Absolutely one of the best books I've ever read. And that's saying quite a bit. What an amazing storyteller Mr. Barnes has turned out to be. Can't wait to read the sequel!
