A funny little book that is a quick read for a fast reader. I read it during a day of airplane travel.
It did cause me to reflect upon my relationship with

Definitely not for the uninitiated science fiction reader.

This is a brisk and heart breaking tale. Charles Yu has a very unique voice and I think we will be hearing great things from him in the future.

Now, if you are not intimidated and ready for a challenging, sometimes fun, often bleak, science fiction story, then this book is for you.
