Though I started the book several times without getting hooked, eventually it drew me in. It's an interesting and original story. The characters are well developed. I wish the author had gone a bit further into the depth of Theo and Hobie's relationship and made it plain that they were family. This book is suited for a variety of readers but I would say primarily women between the ages of 25-55. The extensive references to drug culture make me hesitate recommending it to younger (and older) readers, though much of the narrative relates to coming of age under extraordinary circumstances.

Started off really slow and almost lost me, it wasn't until about half way through that I started getting into it and ended up actually liking it.

I felt like there were too many main characters In the Beginning which made it hard for me to get really into it. But after the first chapter it settled into a rhythm and got good  and I  was anxious to see where it was gonna go.  I'm looking forward to reading number 2.

Slow starter but once I got into it, I became interested.  Ms. Vogel's use of metaphor is superb.

I had difficulty following some of the early fantasy references. The story eventually drew me in and I enjoyed the book.  It's not a book everyone will like, but I'm glad I continued reading to the last page.
