Special Topics in Calamity Physics.
This book was incredible. I was really sad when it ended. It was really interesting because it worked on a number of different levels. The degree and skill of writing was such that you could read it as a light and fun story or else do a po-po-mo deconstruction of it.
This was a book lover's book. Some of the things she wrote were so funny they make you audibly laugh and some so sad that you want to cry. I borrowed the book from the library, but I want to purchase it so I can lend it out to people. I can't say enough good things about this book.
Pessl is a rock star and one of my new favourite writers. I can't wait for her next book.
