This was definitely one of those books that I couldn't put down, but when I finished it I regretted reading it so fast because I didn't want to stop reading Keith Buckley's insightful and beautifully crafted sentences. The plot as far as what happens is minimal, but what this book truly gives its readers is a chance to be introspective and wonder about the "I", what it means to be alive and not living, what god means, and what it is to be if the sum of who you are is made up of the things you've decided you are. Full of metaphor, beautiful and conflicting digressions, readers witness Ray Goldman acting as a voyeur to himself and can't help but take a stark look at themselves and their beliefs.

Also, as a fan of ETID it was really incredible to see the ideas weaved into Keith Buckley's lyrics written out in a comprehensive novel.
