MEDIA REVIEWS
I loved this book! It easily converted me to being an alien. A radical,hilarious,heartbreaking look at the crap we have all internalized in order to fit in and surviveA firecracker of a book...the story skates along the top of all this darkness,and shimmers with a deadpan wit. I loved it
