HOUSE OF OPEN WOUNDS by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Well, what can I say? How does he do it? On top of the other zillion bestsellers he's written, add this to the list.
   I have two minor gripes. The most minor is that I spotted some editing/proofreading errors. Ha! My life is complete. In due course I will add them to my errata page under the cashmoreeditorial tab over on the right. The slightly less minor gripe is that he uses the word 'honestly' far too often. It started to ring the repetition bell, never a good thing.
   But apart from this, the book is chock full of weird and wonderful characters and ideas, weird and wonderful plot twists, weird and wonderful (and funny) conversations between Jack and God, who he carries around in a box, and... honestly, the whole book is just weird and wonderful.
   Read it if you don't believe me. I guarantee you'll have trouble putting it down.
