It was one of those where I couldn't put it down which resulted in what seemed at the time to be the shortest Amtrak trip I've ever taken. Of course, the difficult part has been keeping my mouth shut about the book. There are just so few writers who can bend and fuse the idea of <em>genre</em> the way China can (or maybe he just ignores it). I've read comparisons to Neil Gaiman, but I would contend that there's a decent amount of PKD and, interestingly, Harlan Coben, in this one as well. In short, you're going to freaking love this book!

And listening to China talk about it just excites me all the more. I know he has that effect on the ladies but... *grins* Very excited for this book!
