[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

pretty much everyone else i know who read this book didn't like it. i loved it. i loved the strange sort or fiction sort of philosophy writing style and i loved the conection of teeth to god. because they are connected to god because god is the brain. yeah, i totally loved this book. each chapter is a different tooth!

[Heather · Rating 3 out of 5]

The premise of this book is interesting: Each chapter's devoted to a tooth. Also, the main character is a spy. But I don't care much for the treatment of women in this book. There is, though, something to be said for finding an indirect route to telling an autobiographical tale.
