I read this because it was featured on a list of great short fiction. In my school library, we are always on the lookout for engaging short fiction for our more reluctant older readers. I thought this might fit the bill.  107 pages later, I confess to not REALLY understanding it myself.  I felt I was working harder than any teen would.  Although the writing is clever and creepy, I didn't find enough to recommend we buy it for our library.
