A very interesting concept for a book, while a tad creepy. I had a hard time putting this down, I wanted to finish it. I read that Tim Burton bought the movie rights for it years ago and it would make a good movie possibly if it were…

I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and so far out in imagining that I was fascinated. If you are proper or squeamish, avoid it. If you are wild and want to stretch your mind, give it a try.

I had forgotten about this book until just recently. A long strange trip of a novel with characters unlike any other you will encounter. Oil up your flippers and jump right in.

If you want to have your heart gutted and live through a perpetual series of nightmares, this is the book for you! 10/10, amazing writing on the part of Dunn. Her characters are well-rounded and equally lovable and despicable.

It's weird and disturbed and just makes you think.
Studied it as part of my English degree (Transgression and Desire), and absolutely fell in love with the book.
This is definitely not for everybody!

I read this book years ago. It opened my eyes to the fact that there is other fiction out there besides the typical. It changed the way I read forever.

"Can you be happy with the movies, and the ads, and the clothes in the stores, and the doctors, and the eyes as you walk down the street all telling you there is something wrong with you? No. You cannot be happy. Because, you poor darling…

What a weird book. Is it for real, is it fiction, is it science-fiction? Who knows. One thing's for sure, it's an odd book. All those weirdos. After a while you think they're the "norms", not the norms. Hard to get a grasp on why to write…

This is one of those books that you can't wait to find out what happens next but force yourself to slow down because you don't want it to be over. Dunn's unabashed narrative gets gritty without being trashy and made my jaw drop which is…

This is one of my favourite books! That probably says more about me than it does about the novel, but I nonetheless heartily recommend it.
(If you liked the HBO show Carnivale, this may be up your alley.)
