I ordered this book just because of the title and found it enjoyable. It is a coming of age book with a twist..odd things like naked winged men and sponges that take on the smell of the nearest person's motives or emotions. As Sarah grows from her teen years to womanhood, she is constantly trying to make sense of her life as it is shaped by her unstable best friend, her boyfriends and finally her husband and baby. There's humor and symbolism and philosophy, but it's light and fast moving, not heavy. Interesting book, I think it would especially appeal to the college age and early 20's reader.

This was an interesting (but extremely odd!) book. Not sci-fi or really even fantasy, but it had the feel of Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle In Time". I often felt like something was going on that I didn't understand. The last chapter was kind of different, though, and by far the best part of the book.
