Review title: one of the best books i've EVER read -- and i've read a lot.
Product review: wow. WOW. i woke my best friend up at some ungodly hour to shriek about this. i haven't read something in one night in a loooong time, but this was one such instance. i think everyone recognizes that bender is brilliantly imaginative, but she's honest and perceptive and a darn good storyteller on top of that.i work in a bookstore, and the tragedy is that a lot of books these days seem to be written for a market. fiction is really breaking down into niches: you have your dustycovered oprah-y books about women facing adversity and whatnot, in earth tones of course, then you have your sassy quest-for-mr.-right deals with bright covers that look like someone just threw a copy of cosmo in the blender, and then you get the biting generation-x-male-disillusionment ones in their sharp neon-colored covers.... this was written with total disregard to those emerging categories. bender just wrote a GOOD BOOK that's fun AND touching AND brilliant.
