You know a book's going to be good when it starts with a woman testing the quality of a chili with her vagina. 

The end could have been better, though.

An exploration of The Time Machine's society with a Handmaiden's touch- a little over the top at some points (though I'm still trying to figure out if it was deliberate or not...)- overall good and quick read.

What a weird, fantastic book! The author has a great style, and although a kind of dystopian fantasy, this novel has a lot to say about contemporary politics and societal norms. Absolutely recommended reading.
