Jack Baty

Walk, push a cart, “I'm hungry.”, look for food, “be careful,” hide, walk more.

Bleak is okay with me. Boring is not. Points for style, though.

I loved the initial short story-like introductions to each character in the first half of the book. I also enjoyed when their stories began to intersect at some point in the middle. But then it became a bit of a slog focusing on eco-terrorism. I admit to skimming the final third, which is too bad because it means I probably missed some really great individual sentences.

Even better the second time

More like an instruction manual on “How to be an Asshole”.

What a wonderful, surreal, weird book. I loved every minute of it, but I couldn't begin to tell you what it's about.
