This book is ironic and dark satire of the world of story telling, publishing and consumption of media. The book is compulsively readable, the pacing rips by even with our unlikeable and untrustworthy protagonist June Haywood, aka Juniper Song.
Some parts were a bit predictable but otherwise this was strangely enjoyable read.
