Title: Engrossing... kept me up at night.
Product review: I bought the book on a whim, not really knowing anything beyond the "psychoneurological thriller" epithet. From the first page, I had a hard time putting it down. The texture of the book is so dense and layered -- like the debris in the Lodge -- that I found it irresistable. I've never been able to resist the ruined and the smashed; nor can I turn away from the true mysteries: Are we really "meat machines"? hidden beings within beings? bundles of nerves and chemical reactions?Tho I wish the ending hadn't reminded me quite so much of a "clash of the Titans" or Godzilla meets whoever, I can't really imagine another way for it to have ended. That in itself is praise enough.
