The story only gets zanier, as if it wasn't weird enough But I think where when the murder victims funeral includes a gingerbread cookie made to symbolize the dead & all those who came are asked to partake in eating that cookie..I can't wait to find out, did the gingerbread man kill himself, I guess if the cookie did it, in the end, with how crazy the book, the characters have been, it would all be left to make sense

Getting further into the investigator, Ded's world, and Icky's (the dead poet) I am befuddled by the strange things that go on in the book. It is nothing if not one of the most unique reads ever, literature on another plane of existence and writing far and beyond what I deem best of the best. It is the novel every writer wants to write and the book that is too unique not to love.already, so early. whodunit?? no idea

I have got to say this book is one of the best I have ever read! And, for the first work of serious literature, from the author, I am amazed. Def. "buy the hardback when released" author on my shelf. I HATED that I had to put it down and do other things and wish I had a day to sit down, with no interruption and read the whole book in one sitting, had I had the time I would have! This book makes me feel like I'm home

Honestly, that was one scene..every book in the scene is like that. But, the book is still really good, just crazy and really deep. The guy who died, Jerusalem, was poet "laureate", and, because of that, has a really weird philosophy and, the book is set in the seventies, too. Jerusalem is based on William Blake, the writing used in the book and there are some things presented which, I will admit, take a long time, for me, to think about. Esp. Jerusalem and his thoughts on God. One more thing, they live in San Francisco. There are some pretty funny parts too. Like the Da Vinci combined with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas! You should check it out when it comes out, I think in a couple weeks. It really is worth it. It's one of those books your gonna be happy to say you read if not for the Plato (in the beginning, Ded's cave scene) and Sicilian Illusion (a concept, I believe, completely original to the author and, quite brilliant, really). Such deep thoughts, really, here. While many can be "out there", there are some brilliant ones. And, regardless of how crazy they were they all made sense, in a way. It really is a thought provoking read!
