When I first started reading this book, I felt like Homer Simpson when he was reading the Far Side: "I don't get it. I don't get it." But it grew on me, and I had fun reading it. However it's rather indescribable. It has fairies, the ghost of the New York Dolls' Johnny Thunders, a bag lady who thinks she's an ancient Greek general, and two very star-crossed lovers, among other things. If that's enough to interest you, then you'll probably enjoy the ride.
