A truly twisted read-- you'll find yourself as insane as the protagonist by the end. Great writing in that it draws you into the story and tangles you there.

I had no idea what type of adventure I was embarking on when I started this book. Kind of a bizarre "Fantasy Island" experience. Worth the trip. Listed as one of the top books of the the 20th Century by Random House.
