Oh god this book is terrifying. It made me very aware that I have a brain made out of fallible meat parts, and that a small thing fucking up one of those meat parts would turn me into a raving lunatic. Which is exactly what happened to the author.

The book only exists because the damage is reversible, but the amazing thing is that once her disease is diagnosed, 200 people are found to be treatable. That means god knows how many women were living ordinary happy lives and then got sick and went mad from this disease, never knowing how or why.

It doesn't say anything he doesn't write in his articles, but it's good to have it all in one place.

Good. I found some of the stories fairly silly (I can't buy the idea of a living balloon child just wandering around waiting to get punctured) but the story about the boy who turned into a giant locust was nicely brutal.

Can't believe I missed this. It's a beautiful book, and as good as the Sandman #50 that Russell did. The depiction of Dream himself is beautiful (Russell goes the extra mile to depict images in his robes) and the Fox is appropriately foxy in all aspects.

Interesting, but I felt the character development was off, and it didn't feel like a book by someone who had lived in the Middle East for a long time -- it felt like a book written by an American with some source material. Also, as soon as the plot moves to America, it gets way too cute with naming (or not naming) politicians and terrorists.

If you want to develop with Dojo, this is the book.

No, seriously. There is only one book on Dojo, and this is it.

Meh.
