Review

This is a story about minds and how we come together. Mixed in are themes of alienation and persecution of those who are different. The story is more complex than my synopsis suggests. Reality changes throughout, making it hard to keep track of where the characters are. The inner life of the mind has as much of a landscape as objective reality and most of the story is told from inside the mind of the main character. A really good story.
