Beezer lives in a world after the cataclysm, an event that no one really knows about and no one is quick to explain. Beezer lives in a tough sector and he does what he needs to to survive. This sometimes has a way of getting him into trouble with a large range of people including drug dealers and the police. Beezer also has the ability to see back to the peaceful, happy world before the cataclysm and there are groups of people who want to know more about that ability and they're willing to do anything to find out more.
I had a hard time with about the first third of the book because it felt like there were a lot of plot holes or questions that just weren't being answered. It was frustrating and it didn't feel like anything was going to be resolved. However, by about the second third, everything got a lot clearer and it just started to fall into place in a great way. I love this book! There's just so much that happens that makes it complex and different from other books that I've read. The art style is stellar and there are even moments where we see some mock-happy-go-lucky art in contrast. We also get several character perspectives and they all work to better layer the story. Some parts are definitely more young adult/adult so I would suggest this mainly for mature readers if we're looking at the teen ages.
