wow. if you take the movie "the number 23" and mix it with thomas pynchon's "the crying of lot 49" you might get something [a little more linear] than this book.
amazing.
it's a little difficult to get into. understandably a book that contains not a single "e" is quite wordy and filled with a plethora of unnecessarily lengthy synonyms, however once you get into it, it is absolutely enthralling.
the plot is a crazy murder-mystery conspiracy type story that involves wordplay and alphabet games that fuck with your head and leave you figuring out puzzles throughout 26 (go fig!) chapters of e-less wonder.
