this book to me is the zenith of artistic expression. maybe most amazing to me is how captivated and moved i am by this work without an overload of external stimuli. most often i feel the way this book makes me feel after listening to a great song, or seeing a great movie, my senses being bombarded by sights and sounds. i this case, as it is with the few very special reads in my life, i am moved in the same way, a little more perhaps and everthing occurs internally, which astonishes me to no end. this book to me reads like a long and intense song or poem from the first to the last page. "this is not a book, this is a libel a slander. a gob of spit in the face of art, a kick in the pants to god, decency, what you will..."
