This book is incredibly wild and am amazed it was thought up in someone’s mind.
I need to read more stories about mannequins. Mannequins are quite a marvel. Quite mystifying.

An insane book for insane people. That first third was a little difficult, but when the conflict comes in, it become a high wire act of madness that you just can’t look away. Hits some kind of perverse vein, like a We Have Always Lived in The Castle for sexually possessive older brothers. A real piece of work, that Leon.

Wish I could say this book was more satisfying. Pin seemed so unreal and lacking in characterization as well as being left out of the plot decisions at times that I imagined he wasn’t real. And then he was real. And then he wasn’t. And the sister was real and then she wasn’t. The brother was likewise real and then maybe not. And who was the murderer? What really happened? Was the sister having sex with the brother? Was she having sex with this futuristic mannequin? Who knows...and ultimately I didn’t find that I cared. Just sort of bland.
