This book is quite a ride! As I read from the beginning, I kept wondering if this was going to go somewhere, anywhere?... As it turned out it was going in many directions, all at the same time! I stuck with it though, and then I started to see that all of these directions were actually connected and after a while would all turn into a solid plot. Now that I have put it all in order in my mind and see it coming together with the second generation in the past. But it will definitely take volume 2 for me to find out if Rain and her talking goose will have any of Elphaba in her, other than their green skin. I am anxiously hoping! As Rain grows a little older being only a teenager in this story, one with amnesia and no memory of who or what or where she was shortly before this book began.
I say read it; it is a blast!

“2001, NOKIA CELLPHONE
His first cellphone was slipped
into his hands on September 12th,
2001. The cover was the American Flag.
“It’s just... in case of emergency,”
his mother whispered to him.
As if the world had not ended,
had not evaporated already.
He still goes to school.
He hears myths on the bus about Hussein.
He donates his piggy bank to Fire Station 86.
In it is a 20-dollar bill and purple
pieces of toy soldiers.
He wonders if the soldiers’ hearts exploded.
He wants them back in the piggy bank.”
