Title: READ ME, BAILEY!!!!
Review: This book screams READ ME! Why? Because Lethem is a god! Really! Seriously! No kidding! He creates a world that is dark and moody like a good crime noir. Then he tosses in Lionel, a man prone to ripping apart words, meshing them together, and creating a whole new language. Then he populates it with distinctive characters like Mina and Kimmery. Toss in a little Zen, White Castle hamburgers, and Maine and you have the makings of a fantastic novel. What I loved the most (other than Lionel's narrative) was that it was a detective novel elevated to a contemperary fiction level. When handled deftly by such an artist, it can be magnificant.NOW DO WHAT IT SAYS AND READ IT!
