Funny, sad, satirical look at life. Love what Canthus does to 12 year olds (won't give it away here but not yet available in the western world) "protects them from their own hormonal undoing"

This was a good book... just not for me and for where I'm at right now. It was hard to push myself through this, because there wasn't a real "story," per se... alot to think about, but not something that really grabbed me right now.

Not quite as good as the other Katchor books I've read, but still pretty great.
