Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-16 00:00:00 William Balz Talk about out there . . . this book is in its own realm. I kept wondering why I was continuing to read it, as it increasingly made no sense, was difficult to follow and ultimately disappointed. Often I wondered if the author was on some serious pharmaceuticals while writing this, but then it started to make me feel as if I had been slipped some of those same substances. What the heck! The saving grace, if you will, was the character Luce . . . made my heart, soul and spirit ache for a woman who could love with such tenacity, be as aware and present with her partner as the author, to his credit, was able to portray. So, I guess there was some balance to the tale.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-11-17 00:00:00 Michael Davis Kind of an SF plot told in a non-SF writing style. The main character is a boy who doesn't live in time the same way we do. He jumps around and sees events that happen in the future. It's a powerless feeling to see something that will happen and not be able to influence it. To increase this feeling of powerlessness, the author makes the main character mute.
