    This is one of the best science fiction books ever written. I've heard people say that it is too dense/confusing/etc but that is part of it's genius. Sometimes you just have to let the pages pull you along until you catch your breath. I've owned three copies of this book and they've all gone wandering. I will buy another copy soon to re-read it (and it will not leave my shelf after that).

    Everyone I know who's read it wants to be a Lobster. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

    My favorite opening sentence for any book:

    'The woman pushed on the baby's stomach and sucked its penis into her mouth; it was thinner than the American menthols she smoked and a bit slimy, like raw fish.'

    You just know something bad is going to happen when a story starts like that. This book tastes like madness.
