Yes and WHOW. Really getting into this book now, can't put the thing down. The explanation of the humble "Zoo" was quite riveting, and made complete sense to me. The storytelling, while somewhat disjointed, is absolutely masterful.

Calm down Kev let us all take stock. emoticon . So far i think the book has been enjoyable, hard to see where it is heading though. Nice writing and fun to read but not attention grabbing and captivating like some books i've read.

I'm around page 80, is that good?
well, I really like it so far, I'd have to agree with you a little, not extremely captivating. but very creative, I love his writing. just the writing in itself is enough to have you keep reading
