Virginia Farley _ — How can such a heartbreaking book make one laugh so very hard? Burroughs mixes the tragedy and the comedy deftly. For some reason I've found that if you enjoy David Sedaris, you will enjoy Burroughs.

Shaun Beaudry misterbeaudry — very interesting :)

Michael Provenzano michaele583 — The forumula: Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl. Boy blows up bridge. Girl loses boy. This book contains some beautiful sentences and some annoying sentences. Included in the latter is a sentence that uses the word "now" 22 times and the word "one" 21 times. I realize there's a purpose behind all those nows and ones, but it's still annoying. Here is one of the beautiful sentences: "There was very little of it left and one cup of it took the place of the evening papers, of all the old evenings in cafes, of all chestnut trees that would be in bloom now in this month, of the great slow horses of the outer boulevards, of book shops, of kiosques, and of galleries, of the Parc Montsouris, of the Stade Buffalo, and of the Butte Chaumont,of the Guaranty Trust Company and the Ile de la Cite, of Goyot's old hotel, and of being able to read and relax in the evening; of all the things he had enjoyed and forgotten and that came back to him when he tasted that opaque, bitter, tongue-numbing, brain-warming, stomach-warming, idea-changing liquid alchemy."

Salvatore Rainone salvatorer42b6 — I've been wondering how exactly I was going to write this review for a very long time. I always came up short for words to adequately describe what I thought of this book, because they're actually really contrasting. I just hope this review can do it justice. To start off: I love this book. Also: I hated this book. Yes, both those things at the same exact time. I know, it's weird, but it's the truth. Here's my reasoning: Why I Hate It: On a purely logical level, this novel was full of cliches. Very Twilight-esque in some parts, especially with the whole "You shouldn't be around me, I'm dangerous" thing from Haden. The romance is the Instant Love kind, where girl sees boy, girl loves boy, they are soul mates for the rest of eternity, *insert romantic swoon here*. I mean, Haden was a total jackass for 75% of the novel. If I saw the guy I was interested in grinding against a half-naked skank on purpose, I would literally tell him to screw off. That is not the way to win my heart, bud. The plot was also pretty weak, another one of those "We can't be together, oh no! *cue teenage angst and lust*" books. I also wasn't really fond of Theia, the main character. I understand that she's oppressed by an extremely over protective father, but she was still weak and naive. I didn't hate her, I just didn't like her much. Why I Love It: This is where I say bye-bye to logic. This novel was a guilty pleasure. It was a novel that should have made me want to throw it against the wall because of all of the above issues I had with it. But sometimes, I just fall so far into the fantasy that I can sort of overlook the negative things. They're still there in my mind, but I can just enjoy the teenage angst and lust and romance, instead of analyze it. When Haden wasn't being a royal douchebag, he was hot. I admit it, he was hot. Gwen Hayes also created quite the cast of side characters, whom I also loved. Donny and Ame, Theia's best friends, were the perfect comic relief. I laughed several times while reading their dialogue. Varnie, the psychic drag queen that helps the girls was also interesting to read. The most intriguing part was the mythology behind the novel. The concept of the dreams and Under, the world where Haden is from, was unique, yet reminded me a bit of the myth of Hades and Persephone, which is always a good thing. I loved it, I hated it, it's my guilty pleasure read. That's really it. I give this novel 3.5 out of 5 stars.
