I loved the beginning of this book and was very intrigued by the premise. The prose is beautiful-I love the way Bender writes. In the beginning I thought this was going to go a completely different direction than it did. I liked it enough except for the lack of quotation marks. ;-) It definitely made me think and I am pretty sure I'll be thinking about it for awhile. This feels like a great book club or lit class read-good for lots of discussion over the themes and symbolism. I think if I'd read it in that context I'd have enjoyed it more.
