    This book is a page-turner with an excellent concept and a cast of characters that will steal your heart. It makes you step back and take a second look at the world around you. A simple "How are you?" from a friend, co-worker or complete stranger will no longer seem so insignificant after reading this novel.


    Oh, shit! I actually read the book, am I even allowed to comment here?


    Read the book, you fools!

    @Hydroceph:


    You're quite welcome. In turn, I continue to be amazed by the number of people who have so much to say (and time to say it!) about a book they've never read!


    Of course, you're not that type, are you? The book is on Amazon, let me know when you're done.


    Now... if I only had a witty "sarcasm" image to post...

    Say, here's an idea! Check out oh i don't know every other post on Gawker. It's a snark preserve, darling.


    As for reading the book, i can't get around the very idea of it. I'll save my precious reading time for gay porn and other such devil-books.

    Yea, I wonder.


    I read a book, saw it on gawker, and commented. If this were 3rd grade recess, what ensued might be called bullying.


    Anyway, if anyone wants to talk about the book, let me know, I'll be happy to. Until then, recess is over!

    Excerpt from the website (yes, I looked):


    "I'm speechless." He approached a flowering bush to admire its blooms. The petals shimmered like butterfly wings. And the butterflies glimmered like flowers! "It's paradise."

    Turns out you can always backtrack on that whole "from my life" stuff later, and still keep your agent and get another book deal!
