Default The End of Mr. Y

I just finished a science fiction novel called The End of Mr. Y by Scarlett Thomas. It's a new book (Oct 06) that I basically just came across "randomly". I was mildly attracted to both the title and the cover art, and I was wanting a nice bit of fiction to read, so I checked it out.

Wow. It pulled my mind in so many new and interesting directions! The author is clearly a smart lady who is able to think "outside the box", and though it took me a minute to get into the book, once I was hooked, I carried the poor thing around with me everywhere until I was done. Now it has me thinking about things I'd never even imagined before.

Has anyone else read this book? (For those considering new fiction, I would warn you that there is some profanity and sexual content, though that is not nearly the theme of the story.) I'd love to hear other's thoughts on it.

Heh, yea. I used to love reading science fiction because of the way it caused me to think differently. Perhaps I should get back to that. Thanks!
