A strange, yet captivating book that I had to continue reading just to see how it ended. I've never read a book quite like this one. The idea of characters living only because the host perceives them in his imagination is intriguing.
The book seemed to randomly jump from character to character, yet there was always a link between the character and what was happening to Christopher, a prisoner of war being tortured far away in a hot desert country. Some of the story is slightly confusing, taking into account that alternate realities are in play, yet they seem to have no bearing on the story (such as Tony, the neighbor being in prison for the main character's murder as a child. There is no explanation as to why the main character, Christopher, would imagine his neighbor brutally murdering him. It just didn't make sense.).
There are quite a few grammatical errors; usually words left out, that make the book feel a bit on the elementary level, but I still felt as though I had to keep reading, so I give Neil credit for that.
