Mandy's Review:

Cover

Looking at the cover puts many thoughts into one's mind ... vastness of space, timelessness, possibility of aliens, God or another omnipresent being, etc.  It leaves the imagination open and ready for explanation.

Plot

This novel has left me unsure of what to think about it.  There's an all-knowing, omnipresent being in human form, there's a seemingly crazy man who believes in aliens, there's a girl with multiple personalities who has a case worker willing to do almost anything to be with her and then there's a Big Mac fanatic loving species willing to do anything to have the delectable sandwich all the time ... and that's not even all of it!

Sarcastic and snarky humor abounds between the covers of this novel, but it doesn't deter from the action, intrigue or alien abductions.  Many times I wondered where this story was heading.  Were some of the scenes delusional thinking or were they really happening to the character?

Main Characters

Jeremy - A charismatic business owner, new to town and likes to mess with people.

Oliver - A professional and personal door mat who doesn't know how to stick up for himself ... until he meets Jeremy.

Arnold - Believes himself to be a doctor and believes in the OOklah, an alien species.

Overall

This novel is definitely quirky and unique.  It is extremely well-written and will keep you entertained.  I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes something ... different.
