Review title: catchy premise in narcissistic, overwrought prose
Product review: You can tell this was written by a talented adolescent who has been hearing, all his life, how gifted he is. Where he allows himself to get on with the story (about 1/3 of the manuscript), the plot is very good and the details compelling. The 2/3 of the 344 pages, however, that consist of self-absorbed psychology and half-baked philosophy, however, severely dilute what might have been a powerful tale.
