When I was in my mid-teens, one of my friends was rather obsessed with Film (capital intended). I watched a lot of movies that year, most of which I could tell you little about. Brazil remains completely hazy in my memory, only a single screen shot of a greyscale monolith interior, a voice echoing t...

So, imagine you trip & fall down Alice's rabbit-hole, tumbling past dreamscapes & spooky carnival sideshows before landing with a thump in a smoky jazz bar filled with pajama-clad characters from Inception & The Maltese Falcon.

The voice of the book is flat and even - a little too flat and even for my tastes. It is well-written but I...
This is a very bizarre book -- a cocktail of 'The Twilight Zone', Ray Bradbury and 'Alice in Wonderland' weirdness.
