I love the way it's all connected and both the explicit and implicit literary references. They are so many but her work is still totally original! I loved Libba Bray the first time I read her and I love her even more now. She creates such great and memorable characters. I have been forcing my sisters to read this just so I could talk about it.<br /><br />I also love the way she titles the chapters. Funny, descriptive but spoiling nothing.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259979220053289392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349046498246767821.post-46980809080631634552010-02-17T22:55:41.465-08:002010-02-17T22:55:41.465-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259979220053289392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349046498246767821.post-73548112649557579912009-12-16T12:17:44.859-08:002009-12-16T12:17:44.859-08:00i read this book and i have to admit the ending le...i read this book and i have to admit the ending left me extremly sad (i wont say why because i would hate to spoil it).

I mean it lets you get an inside depth into his head. Cameron's voice is indeed amazing. I love Dulcie, Gonzo, and Balter all together. The whole fact it was centered around Disneyworld. The first page caught my attention. Libba's writing is too good for words. I had a feeling Gonzo was gay because he wasn't remotely interested in those German girls he encountered at the New Orleans cemetary when he and Cameron were searching for the message Junior Webster instructed them to find. I was thoroughly shocked upon discovering the Wizard of Reckoning was Cameron himself in the future all along. This book is on my list of fav's right now. :]Laurenhttp://www.myspace.com/jealousofmyfamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349046498246767821.post-24039396008224852092009-10-06T16:08:18.480-07:002009-10-06T16:08:18.480-07:00This book is awesome.
