What sets James above Everett's previous novels, as casually and caustically funny as many are, is that here the humanity is turned up — way up.

Nobody classifies books. There is no board that reads every novel and writes down what is in it the way one does for films, so this guide has no spine for a book and we are not going to invent one out of adjectives. What the critics said is on this page in full.

What sets James above Everett's previous novels, as casually and caustically funny as many are, is that here the humanity is turned up — way up. This is Everett's most thrilling novel, but also his most soulful.
