Title: Puh-leese!
Review: This book is typical of a lot of the nothingness that is passing as literature these days. The characters are flat and emotionless, with minimal dialogue. I think the author must have written a bunch of absurd plot twists on bits of paper and pulled them out of a jar as she was writing. A mother abandons her children by jumping on a stunt plane at a fair. Two orphans get off a train, the boy sticks his face in a bush, gets attacked by a dog, jumps back on the train and doesn't see his sister for 20 years. The sister wakes up with her hands glowing blue. A guy is having a conversation, the suddenly starts jumping on the bed, flips off and breaks his back. Readers that think the metaphors are deep and meaningful are simply afraid to admit that they just DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE! Why is it so hard to find a simple, entertaining bit of fiction these days!
